Evaluative tools, such as performance lists and rubrics can be used to improve student performance as well as evaluate and grade it. In this session, we’ll examine the characteristics of three different types of scoring tools – criterion lists, holistic and analytic rubrics – and consider the advantages and limitations of each. We’ll review procedures for using rubrics to achieve fair, valid, and reliable evaluation and grading of student learning. Finally, we’ll examine ways of using rubrics as tools for teaching and learning as well as evaluation. A list of recommended online resources will be provided.
