Rubrics

Which type of rubric matches an entire piece of student work to a single description on the scale?

• Holistic

• Analytic

• Checklist

• Developmental

Which type of rubric consists of a single scale with all criteria to be included in the evaluation being considered together (e.g. clarity, organization, mechanics)?

• Developmental

• Holistic

• Analytic

• Checklist

Which is an advantage of a holistic rubric?

• when student work is at varying levels spanning the criteria points it can be difficult to select the single best description

• criteria cannot be weighted

• does not provide specific feedback for improvement

• saves time by minimizing the number of decisions raters make

Identify the characteristics of analytic rubrics (mark all that apply).

• resemble a grid

• contain criteria for what we hope students will produce

• have levels of performance consisting of numbers and/or descriptive tags

• are composed of cells in the center that have descriptions specifying the criteria to each level of performance

Which of the following is a disadvantage of analytic rubrics?

• criterion can be weighted to reflect importance of each dimension

• provide useful feedback on areas of strength and weakness

• take more time to create and use

Which element within a rubric labels the key elements of a student product?

• descriptors

• rating scale

• criteria

Which element within a rubric identifies the level of performance?

• criteria

• descriptors

• rating scale

Which element within a rubric provides concrete descriptions for each level of performance?

• rating scale

• descriptors

• criteria

Which is the first step to properly construct a rubric?

• Develop quality descriptors based on the criteria chosen.

• Identify the expected learning outcomes from the task.

• Decide which of these learning outcomes should be included as a criterion.

• Choose a rating scale for performance levels.
