Tips for Rubrics
Here's How:
Make a list of what you want the students to
accomplish through your assignment.
Organize your list from most important to least
important.
Decide on an overall point value for the assignment.
Assign each item on your ranked list a percentage
value out of 100 percent.
Multiply your total point value from step 3 by each
item's assigned percentage to arrive at the point value
for that item.
On a fresh sheet of paper, write the name for each
item on your list in order from most to least important.
Make sure to leave room in between each category.
Assign specific grading criteria for each main
category from step six.
Distribute or display the rubric to the students
when you are explaining the assignment.
Attach a copy of the rubric filled in with the
student's scores to his/her graded work once it is
completed.
Tips:
Definitely know what your categories will be before
you make your assignment.
The upfront time in creating the rubric more than
pays off in the reduced time it takes to grade the
assignment.
