Rubrics

What are Rubrics?

Rubrics are scoring guides that describe the specific criteria that will be used to evaluate student artifacts. The most useful types contain performance levels to indicate the quality of work done, with each level described in a manner to contrast it with performance at other levels. The AAC&U Value rubrics are examples of these types of "descriptive" rubrics. Advantages of using rubrics include:

• Rubrics help instructors evaluate student work consistently and objectively.
• Rubrics make your evaluation criteria transparent.
• Rubrics help instructors provide detailed feedback to students.
• Rubics help to make scoring faster and easier.

AAC&U VALUE Rubrics

The American Association of Colleges & Universities in collaboration with faculty and educational professionals across the United States developed VALUE (Valid Assessment of Learning in Undergraduate Education) rubrics for assessing student work. The VALUE rubrics help institutions demonstrate, share, and assess student accomplishment of progressively more advanced and integrative learning.
