Rubrics, Rubrics, Rubrics!

 Outcomes
  • Identify key landmarks in a rubric

  • Critique written rubric criteria

  • Write rubric criteria

 This presentation is not...
  • Assessment 101

  • Differences between…

    • Assessment and Accreditation

    • Norm- v. Criterion-referenced

    • Formal v. Informal

    • Formative v. Summative

  • Stats or any kind of statistical analysis

  • “Feelings” about assessment

 Assessment is not...
  • Simply collecting data

  • A means of evaluating faculty

  • Merely a compliance activity

  • Something that will go away

  • An excuse to retire

 The Ideal: If the Course is New or In Development
  • Start with the objectives as transparent statements of what is learned

  • Develop assessment that “test” achievement of the objective

  • Dissect the finalized assignment into measurable, observable objective statements that become the rubric criteria

  • Read all of the rubric criteria to determine if the assessment and rubric criteria are evidence of achieving the objective

 The Reality: Fitting Together Existing Parts

This assumes: 

  • Every rubric criteria can be aligned to a course objective

  • Every extraneous rubric criteria is identified as not aligned

  • More important rubric criteria (i.e., aligned to more important objectives) may be assigned greater point values

  • Greater point values are distributed according to more important course objectives

  • More important course objectives demand more rubric criteria in terms of frequency, rigor and point value

  • Match Acceptable level verbs to verbs in the course objectives

 Anatomy of a Rubric Row

 

Unacceptable (2.4)

Approaching (3.2)

Acceptable (3.6)

Exceeding (4)

OP1. The student will...

Generally, missing, avoided, ignored or misrepresented.

Generally, close to Acceptable with some notable behaviors missing or extenuated. 

Generally, meets the basic expectation for the assignment.

Generally, meets the basic expectation and has some other qualities that illustrate extra knowledge, skill, or effort.

 Leveling Performance

 Identify and Operationalize the Objective
  • Break down the objective into specific criteria related to the assignment

  • Demonstrate Rubric layout in Canvas

ACTIVITY: Select or create an objective NOT a title. Make a list of operationalized ways of observing its achievement. Provide Blooms for idea generation.

 

Unacceptable (2.4)

Approaching (3.2)

Acceptable (3.6)

Exceeding (4)

The student predetermines the spoken content of the presentation.

A distracting amount of the presentation is read verbatim from the slides, mostly “screen reading”

Most of the presentation is read from paraphrased notes or outlines, some verbatim reading from notes or screen reading

All of the presentation is read from paraphrased notes or outlines, minimal verbatim reading from notes or screen reading

The entire presentation is paraphrased from notes or outline, no verbatim reading from notes or screen reading

 Describe the Acceptable Performance Level
  • Focus on verbs and nouns not adjectives (well, at least superlatives...for now)

  • Describe what is “passing” or “complete”

  • Make changes in Canvas Rubric

ACTIVITY: Create the acceptable performance level descriptor.

 Wrap Up
  • Review your creation for

    • Content - what is stated in each column? 

    • Continuity - do the levels of performance increase or decrease appropriately

    • Consistency - is similar language used to reduce confusion

  • Sharing is caring

    • Find a neighbor

    • Review theirs (and vice versa) for the Cs

ACTIVITY: Finalize your criteria. Discuss with a neighbor.
