RUBRICS 2
What is rubric?
• A set of criteria and performance indicators (KPIs)
arranged according to the expected level of performance.
RUBRICS 3
(A useful tool for assessing students` performance)
RUBRICS 5
Purpose of Rubric
To communicate to the students what is expected in a given
KPI before it occurs and also to assess the quality of the KPIs
once it has been completed.
RUBRICS 6
This rubric provide a single score based on an overall
impression of a student`s performance on a task assigned.
Holistic rubric:
Advantage: Quick scoring and provides an overview of student`s achievement.
Disadvantage: Does not provide detailed information of the overall score.
RUBRICS 7
Analytic rubric:
This rubric used to score student`s work on multiple criteria or
dimensions (KPIs) with each KPI scored separately.
Advantage: Provide useful feedback on areas of strength and weakness.
Disadvantage: 1. Takes more time to create in comparison with holistic rubric. 2. Time consuming to score.
RUBRICS 8
S. No. Holistic rubric Analytic rubric
1. Consist of a single scale with all criteria to be considered together.
Breaks the objective into components (KPIs).
2. A single score is assigned. Each KPI is scored independently using a rating scale.
3. Instructor score the overall process or assignment as a whole without judging component part separately.
Final score is made up of adding each KPI score.
RUBRICS 9
Advantages of the rubrics for Instructors
• Consistency of the KPIs among all the students.
• Leads to insight concerning the effectiveness of instruction.
• Clarifies the criteria in specific terms.
• Performance analysis becomes easier.
• Shows areas that need improvements.
• Established ground rules to resolve potential academic disputes.
RUBRICS 10
Advantages of the rubrics for students (see the goal to achieve)
• Helps to define quality.
• Instructors expectations are clear.
• Manner in which to meet the expectations are clear.
• Students can better judge and revise their own work and
assist their peers.
• Vehicle for students feedback, promote students/faculty.
RUBRICS 11
Now Work Time
1. Evaluate your rubric- Are you using the right type:
Holistic / Analytic.
2. Modify existing rubric.
3. Create your own rubric.
RUBRICS 12
1. Task description Assignment
2. Scale Levels of achievement
3. Dimensions A breakdown of the skills/ knowledge involved in the assignment (KPIs).
4. Description What constitutes of each level of performance for each dimensions. Specific feedback
