The document provides an overview of a workshop on using rubrics for assessment. It discusses different types of rubrics, such as analytic, holistic, and scoring guide rubrics. Examples of rubrics are presented and participants engage in activities to review rubrics and create a rubric for assessing a drawing assignment. Best practices for creating, using, and sharing rubrics are also covered.

- 13. Faculty Rubric Speed-Review At each table, one of the faculty members will talk about a rubric they have used. You will spend 5 minutes at each table. As you discuss the rubrics, consider the following questions: Why was a rubric used as an assessment method? What are the pros and cons of using a rubric? As a group, we’ll discuss these questions.
- 14. Table Rubric Speed-Review Review the rubric at each table. You will spend 5 minutes at each table. As you discuss the rubrics, consider the following questions: Why do you think this rubric used as an assessment method? What are the pros and cons of using a rubric in this case? As a group, we’ll discuss these questions.

- 16. Creating in Stages Reflecting: What do we want, why we created the assignment, what happened the last time we gave it, what are our expectations? Listing: Details of the assignment and learning objectives we hope to see accomplished. Grouping and Labeling: Organize 1 & 2, grouping similar expectations into what will likely become rubric dimensions Applications: Apply the dimensions from Stage 3 to final form of rubric using template. (Michelle’s addition: consider kind of rubric, weight of categories if applicable, points assigned if applicable)

Editor's Notes
- Advantages of Rubric•Helps the grading process become more efficient•Helps faculty grade/score more accurately, fairly and reliably•Requires faculty to set and define more precisely the criteria used in the grading process•Supports uniform and standardized grading processes among different faculty members•Clarifies quality expectations to students about their assignments•Students are able to self-assess their own work prior to submitting it•Students can understand better the rationale and the reason for grades•Helps communicating grade between faculty and students•Helps improve student performance, because they know what to focus on(Advantages and Disadvantages of Rubrics, 2005).Possible Disadvantages of Rubrics•Development of rubrics can be complex and time-consuming•Using the correct language to express performance expectation can be difficult•Defining the correct set of criteria to define performance can be complex•Rubrics might need to be continuously revised before it can actually be usable in an easy fashion(Advantages and Disadvantages of Rubrics, 2005).
