Rubrics Instructor’s Perspective: *NOTE: This entire presentation is the use of rubrics from
an instructor’s perspective

Instructor Grading: Personalized feedback is an extremely time consuming
and can be a huge drain on an instructor’s time.
“It is also not uncommon for a kind-hearted teacher (like yourself) to thoughtfully craft a beautifully-written personal note on their student’s paper only to watch said-student look at their grade for 2 seconds, ignore the rest, and promptly toss their kind-hearted teacher’s time laden, carefully annotated assignment in the trashcan as they walk away without a second thought! Never again”. –Teach4 the Heart

First Year as Assistant Professor: Crazy busy designing classes, teaching classes, grading
papers, going to meetings, and other activities.

Stress Levels: My schedule was so busy (and continues to be busy), that I had (and have) extremely high levels of stress overload.

Grading Papers w/ Robust Feedback:The activity that took up most of my time was grading
student papers and providing robust feedback.

Used Hard Copy Rubric:I used a rubric to grade assignments, but I had to keep
retyping or copying/pasting my feedback to each student

Become Overwhelmed: Trying to do so much caused me to become overwhelmed
and question my ability to continue
I was spending so much time of the feedback and
often times students would continue to make the same
mistakes. I began to wonder if students were
reading the feedback.

Feedback Needs to be Fast: “Feedback should be within 24-48 hours. This idea seems overwhelming for a teacher who sees 150-200 students in a day. But if students wait too long for feedback, they risk
losing the context for the valued learning of the work”.

Rubric Definition: “Coherent set of criteria for students’ work that includes
descriptions of levels of performance quality on the criteria”.
-Brookhart, 2013

outline the requirements that must be met for each criterion.

Rubric Feedback: It is possible to add optional feedback for each of the levels ahead of time, or as the assignment is graded.
FEEDBACK: I have pre-canned feedback created in a separate document that I used to copy and paste when grading assignments
FEEDBACK: I wish that D2L would update the feedback to allow pre-created feedback that we could “check” to show for personalized
feedback to each student.

BENNIFITS:1. Instructor saves a huge amount of time because it is possible to click on the
appropriate level and criteria to give students grade in each criteria. 2. Students can get their grade and feedback quicker to make changes in
upcoming assignments resulting in improved future assignments.

RubricCriteria and Description
Rubrics Provide Clarity: Analytic rubrics set clear criteria and clarify the goals and
specific requirements for the assignment.
BENNIFITS:1. Students knows the requirements for the assignment before starting, so
it puts the responsibility of including criteria in the hands of the student.2. Students develop higher levels of metacognition because they can use
rubric to check to see their assignment includes all requirements resulting in better assignments.
3. Instructor saves time because there will be less grade arguments from students since they know the criteria ahead of time.
4. Instructor has less subjectivity in grading since rubric provides a preset criteria with detailed description for each criteria level.

Suggestion- Have two screens: I keep feedback in document on left screen and copy and paste into rubric for specific, personalized feedback for each criteria.
![Page 65: Brightspace Connection - Sinclair Community College · Rubrics can establish criteria to allow for grading that is more consistent to ensure fairness and equity. Students (and others)](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043000/5f76c726bfee9a5ff034ab7c/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Suggestion- Have a “0” Criteria Level: You need a “0” criteria level in case students do not
include any of the criteria in their assignment.
![Page 66: Brightspace Connection - Sinclair Community College · Rubrics can establish criteria to allow for grading that is more consistent to ensure fairness and equity.

Suggestion- Frequently Update: It usually takes me about 4-5 times using a rubric before I
get it perfected, so keep updating until perfected.

Suggestion- Include a “catch-all” category: I usually have one category that I include “and overall quality”
to serve as any missed categories I might have forgotten.

Suggestion- Develop Feedback Template: EVERY time I need to type up new feedback, I put it in a
feedback template and copy and paste into rubric.

Suggestion- Put Rubrics in Gradebook: Students like to see their grades, so I put their rubrics in
the gradebook to encourage students seeing rubric.
