Why use Rubrics?
Rubrics are a highly recommended assessment tool because they fulfill two important components: they are efficient and effective. By providing clear guidelines for assignments, rubrics can help instructors grade quickly, while also showing patterns of learning or gaps in knowledge across groups of students. As well, rubrics offer an opportunity for instructors to be more transparent about grading practices with students when rubrics are shared with students and used as tools of learning.
