SCORING METHODS

Question

Rubrics set up a scoring system to assess student work. The appropriate development of

rubrics also allows students to align their finished product to ensure it has been fully

completed.

In this assignment, you will consider the role of rubrics in the assessment process. You will

research and discuss a range of rubrics used in education.

Step 1. Illustrate

 Describe general versus task-specific rubric types.

 Compare and contrast analytic and holistic rubrics.

 Which type of rubric do you tend to favor and why?

Step 2. Acquire

Acquire the rubric for this assignment. Copy and paste the rubric into the assignment and label

the figure with the correct rubric type name.

Step 3. Assess

Assess and describe the rubric being used to grade this assignment for validity, reliability,

fairness, and/or other pertinent qualities. In your description, justify and describe changes for

improvement.

Step 4. Customize

Customize the rubric by making the suggested improvements from Step 3. Include your

enhanced rubric in your final document and label the figure with the correct rubric type name.

Step 5. Reflect

Reflect on how students can use an assignment rubric as a self-assessment tool in a

paragraph. 

Step 6. Submit
