Rubrics

Heidi Goodrich, a rubrics expert, defines a rubric as "a scoring tool that lists the criteria for a piece of work or 'what counts.'" So a rubric for a multimedia project will list the things the student must have included to receive a certain score or rating. Rubrics help the student figure out how their project will be evaluated. Goodrich quotes a student who said he didn't much care for rubrics because "if you get something wrong, your teacher can prove you knew what you were supposed to do." Some website to help build rubrics:

As you are working through your assignments, try to make sure they are needed and not just busy work. Many of our courses are too long and some of our assignment are not targeted enough. (Try to personalize assignment, this will help with plagarizm.)
