Feedback
I always use rubrics and even give my students the rubrics in advance so they know exactly how things are being graded and their are no surprises.
Once an assignment has been submitted I always provide feedback. I always give my students detailed feedback about the positives and negatives that they have done in their assignments. It is important to refer to the rubric when deducting points and issuing points.
Mamie,
Glad you find them helpful. The are very helpful to both instructors and students. Thanks.
I've found grading rubrics to be very beneficial to the instructor and also the student. Rubrics are a great tool to assess student's progress. Rubrics are also helpful in determining point deductions. I believe grading rubrics also shows a consistency among all instructors. When everyone is on the same page, things flow more smoothly.

Kimberly,
You are doing it right! Giving the students the rubric with the assignment before they begin working is essential. I also have students assess themeselves and a peer using the rubric so they understand it more fully. Thanks!
