So recently I have attended the grading workshop for graduate teaching assistant. One of the interesting grading tool that I got introduced to is called RUBRICS. I like it and thought it may be useful for me. So without further due, here is my attempt.
Rubrics in 5 minutes
What is RUBRICS?
- is a grading tool
- help you save time grading tons of paper
- make sure your grading is consistent from begining to last paper
- provide timely and correct feedback to student for better and critical learning
RUBRICS components:
1- assignment title
2- description
3- performance scale: use encouraging words, use 3-5 scales for optimal result
4- evaluation dimension
Example1:
Title=Rubrics for Identify Good Programming Practices Assignment
Description=this assignment is to test that students can identify and
explain good programming practice
performance scale= excellent/competent/need work
evaluation dimension:
- basic knowledge: be able to identify good programming practice elements ( give
a number - maybe 14 elements: comments, constant, variable, scoping)
- apply: can give a realistic example of software using good programming practice
- evaluation: can explain the example, show the pros and cons of the software, the
good elements, great if can show limitation, and suggest improvement or specific
good programming practice to make example software better.
example2: rubrics for presentation
TBD
