InterPro - Teaching and Learning - Creating Rubrics and Scoring Guides
The following document provides information on how to create and use rubrics in your course.
Benefits of using grading and evaluation criteria:
- save time
- communicate expectations to students
- create transparency with students about how their work is being evaluated and graded
- increase consistent and equity in evaluation across a course
- easily identify patterns in student performance
- empower students to self and peer-review their own work
Getting started with Rubrics
- choose 1-2 assignments to start
- consider creating a rubric for larger assessments that are time intensive to grade and may need clearer expectations (e.g. team project, final presentation, etc.)
- consider creating rubrics for assessments that repeat throughout the term (e.g. discussion forum responses)
How to Create a Rubric
- identify the assessment to use the rubric
- identify the learning outcomes to be demonstrated in this assessment - these become the evaluation criteria
- identify the levels of achievement by which you will evaluate the demonstrated skills, knowledge
