  1. Rubrics

  2. What is a rubric? An evaluation tool As simple as a checklist (holistic) to highly complex (analytic) Quality control Provide feedback for areas of improvement Can be developed and used by students, instructors, & administrators

  3. Rubrics can be used: • For assessment of an assignment • By students for self-assessment or peer assessment • For course assessment • For program assessment

  4. Rubric Components

  5. Holistic Rubricentire product or assignment evaluated & scored as a single dimension or category Source: Luft, J. (1997). Design Your Own Rubric. Science Scope, Feb. 97, p. 25-27

  6. Analytical Rubricmultiple dimensions or categories evaluated & scored

  9. Assessment rubric for open-ended concept questions. Why is RNAse added to the initial buffer in the DNA extraction kit? Specifically, what does it do and when does it do it?  Student 1 Response: cuts up the RNA into different fragments Student 2 Response: The RNAse A was added to digest the RNA.  It is added in the P1 [buffer].  However, it does not begin to work until the cells have been lysed which comes from the addition of Buffer P2 Regassa and Morrison-Shetlar, JCST 2009

  10. Designing a Rubric- Draft • Refer to course objectives • Choose ONE task for rubric generation (e.g. oral presentation, lab report, position paper) • Use assignment description to choose dimensions or criteria – these should be important, measurable, feasible • Select a scale & number of levels

  11. Designing a Rubric - Draft • novice - intermediate - advanced • exceeds expectations - meets expectations - below expectations • unacceptable - marginal - good - exemplary • excellent - quite satisfactory - needs revisions - unacceptable • novice - developing - proficient - expert • missing - poor - satisfactory - good - exceptional • almost always - often - occasionally - rarely – never • numeric scale: 1 2 3 4 5 Select a scale & number of levels

  12. Designing a Rubric - Draft Hints for performance level descriptions • Look at examples of existing rubrics and adapt them. • Describe the characteristics of the “ideal” and the “worst” case. Identify the most common errors that make an example fall short of “ideal” or the qualities that make it better than the “worst” case. • Using samples of existing work, divide into levels corresponding to the levels you set. What are the qualities of the best work? The poorest work? Add descriptors to the appropriate categories. For each criteria, describe an acceptable or “middle” level of performance; then upper & lower levels

  13. Designing a Rubric - Draft Decide on weighting/points for categories (if desired)

  14. Designing a Rubric - Refine Colleague feedback Attempt to use with prior class results Evaluate consistency of rubric scoring Pilot
