  1. Creating Grading Rubrics…Ways to Ease Your Grading Burdens Andrea Bewick, Julie Hall & Lisa Yanover Flex Day, 2010

  2. What Are Rubrics? • A rubric is basically a system for deciding how to describe the quality of a variety of academic skills. • You can create rubrics to measure almost any skill, from something as formal as a research essay/project to something as informal as a small-group discussion.

  3. What Are Rubrics? • Rubrics can also be used in a variety of ways. • For example, they can be used to provide formative feedback, to determine student grades, or as data for assessment of performance on a specific student learning outcome.

  4. What are Rubrics? • “Rubrics are a way of translating the qualitative into the quantitative “ Capella (2010). • Rubrics allow for more objectivity in grading versus subjectivity. • “A rubric is not only an evaluative tool but a teaching tool that lets learners know specifically what they need to do to achieve a good performance in the course” Capella (2010).

  5. What is being assessed in the rubric? • Specific skills of the assignment • Assessment criterion by which the skill(s) will be assessed • Total points available to a student per each skill by each criterion they achieve. • The total points are then assigned according to the rubric Capella (2010).

  6. Rubrics can be used to: • Communicate expectations about “what counts” as high-quality work; • Encourage students to assess their own work; • Assign grades to student assignments and exams; • Assess specific student learning outcomes by departments for evaluation of curriculum

  7. Types of Rubrics • Analytic Rubric • Comprised of a set of focused holistic rubrics for specific components to be evaluated independently. • The individual scores are then combined for a total grade. • Holistic Rubric • This rubric consists of a set of descriptors to generate a single, global score for the entire work

  8. Examples of Holistic Rubrics • The English 90 rubric used by the English Department to score the English 90 Proficiency Exam. • Individual rubrics developed to assess specific essay assignments • Course rubrics used to assess specific skill sets within a course as part of the assessment of specific SLOs.

  9. Examples of Analytic Rubrics • Individual rubrics used to assess specific skills sets by awarding points to each set. • Rubrics used by students to assess whether specific skills are bring demonstrated in the work of their peers (this usually takes the form of a checklist).

  13. Effective, Reliable & Fair! • To be effective, a rubric must be used. • It must be reliable: “It is reliable if qualified assessors applying it to the same piece of work come up with similar scores for similar work, regardless of the amount of time between assessments” Capella (2010). • It needs to specify performance levels that are fair and reasonable

  14. Go from Narrative to Numerical—It’s Easy! “BUSINESS PLAN FINAL PRESENTATION GRADING CRITERIA WOW!!! (90-100 Points- Grade A) Begins with an introduction that shows the logic behind the business that you selected to start and a strong organizational structure needed to run the business. The plan is supported by research of the customer, competition, and the business you are starting. Good! Almost there (80-89 Points – Grade B) Begins with an introduction that shows some logic behind the business that you selected to start and an adequate organizational structure needed to run the business. Most of the plan is supported by research of the customer, competition, and the business you are starting” W. Unti (2009, October 15).

  15. From Narrative to Numerical to More Using a Chart J.Hall, (2010).

  16. From Narrative to Numerical Using A Rating Scale “Name: __________________________________ Total Points :_____________ Business Name ___________________________ Reviewed by _____________________________ 1 2 3 4 5 The plan begins with an introduction that shows the logic behind the business that you selected to start and a strong organizational structure needed to run the business.   1 2 3 4 5 The plan is supported by research of the customer, competition, and the business you are starting. 1 2 3 4 5 The plan identifies logical target markets that show a strong understanding of the need for focus in a business plan.  1 2 3 4 5 The product, price, promotion, and distribution sections of the plan strongly support the target markets selected” B. Pratt. (November 24, 2009).

  20. How the Chico State University ROI can be Used? • “Self-evaluation tool to revise an existing course using the Rubric for Online Instruction (ROI)… • The ROI is a good “road map” on how to design a new online course… • Attaining public recognition for exemplary online instructional practices” Chico State University, (2003, 2009). Rubric.

  21. Rubrics and SLOs • Rubrics can also be used to assess SLOs • The English Dept, working together, has developed reading and writing rubrics for English 85. • We use these rubrics to assess the clarity and effectiveness of our English 85 SLOs.
