Erin Steuter wrote, I have recently started using evaluation rubrics for my classes and have
been pleased with the detailed comments that I can quickly communicate to the students. I have seen effective rubrics for class participation, group work and presentations. Here is one of mine for an introductory level essay. I have been using rubrics for all my course assignments for a couple of semesters now, and am very pleased with them in terms of ease of use and transparency for students. You can find them all on this URL http://usm.maine.edu/~donnab/resources/rubric_index.htm What you may immediately notice from this list of rubrics is that I use the same rubrics in multiple courses. That makes it easier for me to be consistent in my expectations and for students to work at refining skills. Donna Donna C.
