  2. What is a rubric?

  3. Why rubrics? • Clarify learning goals from the offset • Design materials and activities that address those goals • Communicate those goals to students • Guide feedback on students’ progress • Assess products to degree to which the goals are met Andrade, 2005 • Comparing the quality of a student's work with fixed criteria and ‘standards’ is educationally more defensible than making comparisons with how other students in the course perform on the same or equivalent tasks Sadler, 2009
