Rubrics

I find rubrics to be very helpful. Rubrics always helped me all throughout school when they were used. They help the students understand what they did wrong and what they did right. Rubrics not only improve scoring consistency, they also improve validity and clarifying the standards of achievement you will use to evaluate your students. Rubrics include a reference for students to keep looking over to make sure they have everything asked in their paper or project.
Rubrics emphasize the most important content and processes of the learning target. Rubrics are also made clearer to students, then telling them what they need to do in their assignments. They also help teachers grading of assignments easier because they are going by what is their and what is missing from using the rubric. I disagree with the second video with the woman who believed that rubrics were not helpful. I am a strong believer of rubrics and would always use them on different assignments with my class.
