Understanding the Assignment: How to Write Clear Rubrics

The third workshop of the Back to Basics:

A student can work hard, but if they don’t know what’s expected of them, their effort might not pay off. Rubrics make your approach to grading clear and spell out exactly what you’re looking for so that your students will stay on task. And as an added bonus, they can make grading easier for you! Intimidated by the thought of writing one? This workshop will break down the elements of a good rubric and present a variety of models for you to use in assignments both big and small.
