A well written rubric should calibrate grading between those evaluating the work. I will take this information and evaluate and improve the rubric I am currently using:)
Collecting student examples (exemplars) to use as a) student examples and, b) anchor papers for scoring, is a simple addition to a rubic rollout that will prove to be beneficial.

Reply to Aarti Savoor's post: Hello Aarti Savoor's. Yes building a rubric is a complex process I just learned about how Technical Quality/Fairness should allow for rubrics to be fair to all student including English as a secondary language. Liked you stated in your post a well created rubric will allow to evaluate themself and help meet their requirements listed in the rubric.

I learned the importance of the rubrics in the lessons. The descriptors are very important to evaluate the material.
In this module, I have learned that a rubric should be fair to all students independent of racial, cultural, gender, or other biases. A good rubric is reliable if two raters using the rubric to rate the same work assign similar scores; in other words, raters should be in agreement. A rubric is reliable also if the rating actually represents what students can do.
Components of a rubric are essential to note, such as the content and coverage. Does the rubric cover everything necessary? It is clear. Does it make sense to the student? Are their samples for the work. Also needs to be practical and technical. Meaning it needs to be helpful to the student so they can self-assess and needs to be fair.
In this module I learned about new aspects to be consider while creating a rubric.
