Rubrics (Cube)

“Using a Scoring Rubric to Plan and Evaluate an Assignment” – Suskie
            I am always so grateful when professors give me rubrics for assignments so that I am aware of all of the components they are looking for in my work. Having different levels of awareness and mastery also gives me a goal to strive towards. When it comes to creating mw own rubric; however, I find the process extremely daunting. I’m sure that you would start from the ideal or highest degree and work your way down but the small differences between levels are very hard for me to decipher.
I think it’s also very hard because the rubric has to be somewhat subjective to the one grading it. I have thought about the numerous times I have come to class this year after having read the articles or chapters for that given week and having my perspective on it and then after class discussion my viewpoint shifts. When creating a rubric, I would overthink everything in the case that someone will bring a new perspective or share new knowledge that would change my grading for the work that follows.

Listing all of the things that you are looking for is a crucial initial step. Even though I am hesitant to the specifics, I know that if I list everything out first, no matter how the writer or participant reaches that goal, they will receive the credit.
