Video analysis of "Rubrics Introduction"

Rubrics are tools that help grade subjective assessments. Rubrics are great to use because you might feel differently about different students and this allows for standardized evaluation of each student. They allow for equal grading of all students. Rubrics are also a road map for students when it comes to completing an activity. Students should be given the rubrics before the assignment to help guide their completion and they are to keep themselves accountable that they are meeting all requirements. I think when you use a rubric and students choose not to meet all requirements it's not an issue for the teacher because the students knew what the expectations were and chose not to fulfill these requirements. Percentages are best to use on rubrics because you can use for more than one assignment no matter what the point value of the assignment is.
