Rubrics

A scoring rubric is a set of criteria and standards typically linked to learning objectives. They are comprised of one or more dimensions (criteria) on which performance is rated (scales), and often include descriptors or examples for each rating level.  Rubrics communicate the Instructor’s expectations of quality and sometimes quantity.

Scoring rubrics encourage fair and consistent evaluation by focusing the Instructor’s attention on the individual elements and the level of quality expected, making grading less subjective. When students are given access to the scoring rubric before performing the related task, they have a much better understanding of the required elements and how their work will be judged. Rubrics foster self-evaluation and reflection, and are essential guidance for peer review.
