I will use this course in making changes to the rubric. I think clarity is so important for contributing to the student's success.
There are many compenents to consider when developing a rubic. All components are crucial as to how the student process and receives the feedback as well as to how they will apply it moving forward in their learning process.
The benefits and use of a metarubric. I have struggled with what they versus what I understand from the rubric. This will help.
The essance, if not components, of a metarubric can be a lens for any assessment or scoring, even an MC test.
Reply to Donald Hayes's post: Hello Donald, yes Instructor should revised the rubric due to following these steps learned in this section are we folloing the guidelines and is the rubric at proper criteria and is it reliable and valid.
Reply to Lisa Hershey's post: Hello Lisa Hershey, I agree that the rubric need to modied review to promote quality feedback.
Hello team, what I took in this section of the course was that we must review, pre-test a rubric to ensure the rubric is following good development guidelines and is it the proper criteria reliable and valid.
If the assignment attached to the course, in the rubric, can you account for due dates of assignments? Can you account for word count also? In our RAD discussions we instruct the students that the initial post needs to be posted by 3rd day and 2 responses to peers on the 7th day. Do any other programs do this? Also, can the rubric take into account for grammar, punctuation, etc? Or are rubrics geared more for just the content material?
I look forward to your responses.

When creating a rubric its beneficial to get the students involved in the process.
The metarubric is a useful quantitative tool for systematically evaluating the rubric, which is something I had not heard of before, but makes perfect sense.
I can see why and how rubrics improve both teaching and learning!
I learned the importance for create an assessment rubric to implement in class. The professor will needs somethings to do to create a good rubric. They need to evaluate the learning outcomes in class and the criteria. The rubric helps the student to think in the material.
In this module, I have learned that feedback is defined as information pertaining to reactions to a product or performance which is used as a basis for improvement. Instructors should keep this definition in mind as they develop and utilize rubrics to assist in the evaluation of students. Feedback may be positive, negative, or constructive. Feedback is provided through the evaluation of student work. This evaluation is not something instructors should do "to" the students, but something they should do "for and with" their students. Feedback is essential to the learning process and should provide students with relevant information.
The sandwich method is a great tool to use when giving feedback. Also making sure your criteria is proper, reliable valid, and levels are appropriate.
Today I learned about metarubrics.
Using a tool like a metarubric to evaluate the readiness of a rubric can be an invaluable tool for the instructor.
More learning and reading.
There is more buy in from the students if they are part of its assessmen.
The Rubric construction process of the Rubric needs a continuous feedback from the students. The rubric process is something always under contruction.
