Ways to Use Scoring Rubrics for Student Work and Program Assessment

  1. Hand out the grading rubric with an assignment so students will know your expectations and how they'll be graded.
  2. Use a rubric for grading student work, and return the rubric with the grading on it. Faculty can save time by highlighting relevant segments of the rubric instead of having to write extensive comments.
  3. Develop a rubric with your students for an assignment or group project. Students can then monitor themselves and their peers using agreed-upon criteria that they helped develop.
  4. Have students apply the rubric to some sample student work (e.g., lab reports, posters) before they begin producing their own work. Not only are students quite accurate when doing this, but this process should help them evaluate and monitor their own work as it progresses.
  5. Have students give peer feedback using the rubric, and then allow students to incorporate that feedback before they turn in their final drafts.
  6. Have students self-assess their own work using the grading rubric and hand in the self-assessment with the product. Faculty and students can then compare self- and faculty-generated evaluations to identify consistencies and inconsistencies in evaluation.
  7. Faculty can use rubrics in their own classes and the results can be aggregated across sections.
  8. Faculty can work alone or in groups to evaluate student work from a program, e.g., portfolios or capstone papers.
  9. Fieldwork supervisors or community professionals can assess student work outside of the classroom using rubrics.
  10. Faculty can get "double duty" out of their grading by using a common rubric that is used for grading and program assessment. Individual faculty may elect to use the common rubric in different ways, combining it with other grading components as they see fit.
