Rubric Grids: Essay Marking Made Easy!

Screen Shot 2015-02-25 at 20.55.57

For each of these, I provide different level descriptors for 1 mark up to the maximum available for that particular essay feature. Then, it’s simply a question of shading off the correct cell in the grid and providing an explanation on the right-hand side.

The benefits of this approach are that I mark the essay much more methodically, but also much more quickly. Rather than  make one overall evaluation right at the end of the essay, I instead make separate, shorter but more focused comments about half a dozen features of the piece. This provides the students with feedback which is directly comparable to their previous essay rubric so they can spot exactly where they have improved, and where they need to focus next.

Marking Rubric for History Essays

If you have similar rubrics for other subject areas that you’d like to share on this blog, feel free to contact me!

A rubric is an explicit set of criteria used for assessing a particular type of work or performance (TLT Group, n.d.) and provides more details than a single grade or mark. Rubrics, therefore, will help you grade more objectively.

Have your students ever asked, “Why did you grade me that way?” or stated, “You never told us that we would be graded on grammar!” As a grading tool, rubrics can address these and other issues related to assessment: they reduce grading time; they increase objectivity and reduce subjectivity; they convey timely feedback to students and they improve students’ ability to include required elements of an assignment (Stevens & Levi, 2005). Grading rubrics can be used to assess a range of activities in any subject area

Elements of a Rubric

Typically designed as a grid-type structure, a grading rubric includes criteria, levels of performance, scores, and descriptors which become unique assessment tools for any given assignment. The table below illustrates a simple grading rubric with each of the four elements for a history research paper. 

Criteria identify the trait, feature or dimension which is to be measured and include a definition and example to clarify the meaning of each trait being assessed. Each assignment or performance will determine the number of criteria to be scored. Criteria are derived from assignments, checklists, grading sheets or colleagues.

Examples of Criteria for a term paper rubric

Levels of performance

Levels of performance are often labeled as adjectives which describe the performance levels. Levels of performance determine the degree of performance which has been met and will provide for consistent and objective assessment and better feedback to students. These levels tell students what they are expected to do. Levels of performance can be used without descriptors but descriptors help in achieving objectivity. Words used for levels of performance could influence a student’s interpretation of performance level (such as superior, moderate, poor or above or below average).

Examples to describe levels of performance

Levels of performance determine the degree of performance which has been met and will provide for consistent and objective assessment and better feedback to students.

Scores make up the system of numbers or values used to rate each criterion and often are combined with levels of performance. Begin by asking how many points are needed to adequately describe the range of performance you expect to see in students’ work. Consider the range of possible performance level.

Example of scores for a rubric

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 2, 4, 6, 8

Descriptors

Descriptors are explicit descriptions of the performance and show how the score is derived and what is expected of the students. Descriptors spell out each level (gradation) of performance for each criterion and describe what performance at a particular level looks like. Descriptors describe how well students’ work is distinguished from the work of their peers and will help you to distinguish between each student’s work. Descriptors should be detailed enough to differentiate between the different level and increase the objectivity of the rater.

Descriptors...describe what performance at a particular level looks like.

Developing a Grading Rubric

First, consider using any of a number of existing rubrics available online. Many rubrics can be used “as is.” Or, you could modify a rubric by adding or deleting elements or combining others for one that will suit your needs. Finally, you could create a completely customized rubric using specifically designed rubric software or just by creating a table with the rubric elements. The following steps will help you develop a rubric no matter which option you choose.

Begin with a performance or assignment which may be difficult to grade and where you want to reduce subjectivity.
It is suggested to start with fewer [score] levels and to distinguish between work that does not meet the criteria.

Types of Rubrics

Determining which type of rubric to use depends on what and how you plan to evaluate. There are several types of rubrics including holistic, analytical, general, and task-specific. Each of these will be described below.

All criteria are assessed as a single score. Holistic rubrics are good for evaluating overall performance on a task. Because only one score is given, holistic rubrics tend to be easier to score. However, holistic rubrics do not provide detailed information on student performance for each criterion; the levels of performance are treated as a whole.

Each criterion is assessed separately, using different descriptive ratings. Each criterion receives a separate score. Analytical rubrics take more time to score but provide more detailed feedback.

A generic rubric contains criteria that are general across tasks and can be used for similar tasks or performances. Criteria are assessed separately, as in an analytical rubric.

Task-specific

Assesses a specific task. Unique criteria are assessed separately. However, it may not be possible to account for each and every criterion involved in a particular task which could overlook a student’s unique solution (Arter & McTighe, 2001).

Grading rubrics are effective and efficient tools which allow for objective and consistent assessment of a range of performances, assignments, and activities. Rubrics can help clarify your expectations and will show students how to meet them, making students accountable for their performance in an easy-to-follow format. The feedback that students receive through a grading rubric can help them improve their performance on revised or subsequent work. Rubrics can help to rationalize grades when students ask about your method of assessment. Rubrics also allow for consistency in grading for those who team teach the same course, for TAs assigned to the task of grading, and serve as good documentation for accreditation purposes. Several online sources exist which can be used in the creation of customized grading rubrics; a few of these are listed below.

Use MCQ grids for accurate self-assessment

By Lesley Howell , Paul McDermott 2018-01-17T10:35:00+00:00

How multiple-choice questions can motivate students to assess their own confidence and knowledge – without even knowing it

Man taking own heart rate, metaphor for self-assessment in in the classroom

Source: pathdoc / Shutterstock.com

Self-assessment data is information about student progress, provided by the student. Asking students to assess their own work can improve their progress, and their understanding of learning objectives and assessment criteria. However, self-assessment data often includes learners’ opinions about their academic abilities and the progress they think they are making. How can you get a clearer picture?

Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) in a grid format for students to enter their answers can motivate students to self-assess correctly, and to perform better. The grid format displays question numbers (eg 1–6) down one vertical side, and the possible answer options (eg A–D) across the top.

Students distribute four marks for each question across the answer options in a strategic way to gain the best possible score. There is only one correct answer for each question. If the student is 100% confident, they give all four marks to one answer option. If they can’t decide between two options, they might give two marks to each, or split the marks three-to-one. If they have no confidence in their answer, they can give one mark to each answer option to guarantee a point.

Self-assessment multiple choice question grid

Multiple choice questions can also be asked in a grid format

The marking process is easy and quick, and gives almost immediate individual feedback to students. Create a copy of the answer grid on an acetate sheet with incorrect answer boxes shaded. To mark the answer grid, place the acetate over the answer sheet and points awarded to correct answers remain visible. Copy the points in any visible boxes into an additional column. Add the points in this column to give the final score.

Students are unaware they are providing self-assessment data as they focus on maximising their score. However, their answer strategies give a clear indication of a student’s confidence.

Teachers can use these answer-grid MCQs across many educational settings, including: high- and low-stakes assessments; open- and closed-book quizzes; and end-of-semester course tests. Whatever the setting these MCQs are used in, you need to use answers in feedback discussions with students to reap the key benefit.

How to approach feedback discussions:

The answer-grid MCQ combines performance assessment, feedback, confidence estimates and incentives for students to perform into one easily administered tool. It is simple to use and allows self-assessment of knowledge and confidence, and immediate feedback on individual questions.

Persuasive Essay On Solar Energy

“Because we are now running out of gas and oil, we must prepare quickly for a third change, to strict conservation and to the use of coal and permanent renewable energy resources, like solar power.”(Jimmy Carter, televised speech,1977) Just like what he said, we should develop other energy than fossil fuel because we will run out of it some days and fossil fuels are the main reason of global climate change. Global climate change is a very serious problem that we must pay close attention to. The main reason that causes climate change is that there are too many carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. If the temperature keeps getting higher and higher, there will be many problems that can cause great damage to us and the environment. If we don’t replace fossil fuels with other clean energy, our Co2 level will be as many as the time of the dinosaurs and we don’t know what will our lives be if this really happened. The best way to solve this is by using solar energy. You may think that solar energy isn’t enough but we can use it with other clean energy. It is a wise choice to use solar energy because solar energy is renewable and abundant, it is environmentally friendly, and it is also available around the world.

To get started the LAN would be the main configuration for connecting the computers on each floor with star typology. Star topology will connect all nodes individually to a central connection point also known as the switch. A pro with this configuration if a cable fails only one node will be brought down and the rest will continue running. In addition, we can use twisted pair for the wire used to simply to cancel out electromagnetic interface from external sources since there will be multiple computers next to each other. The copper wire will lead to a switch connecting the devices together on the same network. This will also lead to the building backbone network. Also, known as the distribution layer, because it will be distributing network traffic to and from the LANs. Now those that we have the wire network it’s also recommended to have a wireless network in each building because many students will be using their own devices.

And each year, the debt from the consumer rate increases for every electricity company. For instance, as
