Rubrics

Welcome to this blog that we will be using in this workshop. You will find many resources here and will also be able to comment on different topics related to rubics. I do hope that you will continue to visit this site after the workshop and share what is working for you.

1. Describe a rubric (what is it?)
2. Describe the purpose of rubrics.
3. Describe the difference between holistic and analytic rubrics.
4. List the characteristics of good rubrics.
5. Idenitfy weaknesses in a rubric.
6. Develop a rubric for judging the quality of a product (chocolate chip cookie).
7. Create/modify a rubric for an assignment or activity in a class you teach.
8. Critique rubrics of other faculty to help them improve the clarity and function of the rubric.

Now that you have read a bit and we have discussed rubrics, take a minute to define a rubric in your own words.

Work with a partner to write a description of the differences between holistic and analytic rubrics. Post your answer by commenting to this entry.
