I find having a rubric for assignments that the skills expected to be acquired are not very clear. I feel a rubric helps the students decide how to study or practice for the assessment. I give a version slightly different than the actual final evaluation rubric. I am wondering if this is helpful, or should the rubric be given just before the assessment? I do hands on training, but this course made me question my method, which I think if they know what to practice they will know how to practice more effectively.
