A rubric is a tool used to assess student performance on assignments and provide feedback. It defines the expectations and objectives of the assignment and describes what constitutes high quality performance. Developing rubrics with students helps them understand what is expected of their work. Using rubrics provides specific feedback and makes grading more consistent and objective. It also helps students understand how to improve by focusing on the objectives. There are different types of rubrics such as numeric scales and qualitative descriptions. Regardless of the type, rubrics should clearly define the performance levels so students understand how their work will be evaluated.
