Rubrics
Clear Expectations
Communicating your expectations is critical to involving students in the evaluation of their own work and learning. Evaluation is an important aspect of the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm and The Circle. This can be accomplished by providing either good exemplars or a rubric.
If you choose to go the rubric route, Canvas has a rubric tool that can simplify your life and allow you to quickly and effectively give structured feedback to your students. Many instructors like to use the rubric tool along with the audio feedback when grading. Your instructional designer will be happy to help you set this up.
Rubrics Available in CDLI's Lab*
One drawback to using a rubric is that they can take time to craft effective ones. We have a Rubric Station in the CDLI lab with all of the AAC&U rubrics as well as other rubrics faculty have used. You are welcome to take individual rubrics or an entire set. The AAC&U rubrics are also available on CDLI's website.
