    Grade smarter, not harder: rubrics
    February 10, 1:00-2:00
    Online
    Presenter: Lauren Schlesselman
     

    rubrics are an assessment tool that helps instructors and students focus attention on the important aspects of an assignment. Rubrics promote grading practices that are consistent and free from bias. This introductory workshop explores the elements of a rubric, methods to design rubrics with and without student involvement, and how to apply them within your courses. Attendees are encouraged to bring their rubrics for small group collaborations or their syllabus and ideas for an assignment that would benefit from a rubric.

    By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

    1. Identify the value and role of rubrics in measuring student learning 
    2. Recognize the steps in creating a rubric 
    3. Connect rubrics with outcomes and learning data 
    4. Identify an assignment in your course that could use a rubric and draft the criteria
