Online Course Design Showcase Series: Experiences with Single-Point Rubrics: Ways of Sharing Assignment Expectations and Feedback With Your Students

Event Date & Time

  • May 25, 2021
    12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Event Description

A rubric is an important tool that empowers faculty to clearly communicate assignment expectations and make grading fair to students. Due to the complexity of an analytic rubric, however, people are often hesitant to use it. The single-point rubric is simpler to create and use. In this session we will explore some of our experiences with the single-point rubric.

During this session, there will be a 25-minute presentation including:

  • Introduction to a single point rubric
  • Reflections from faculty on how a single point rubric can be used in learning environments

The presentation will be followed by a 35-minute collaborative discussion. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, share ideas and apply this rubric idea to own contexts.

Facilitators:

  • Alifa Bandali, PhD., Lecturer, Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice, The Social Justice Institute
  • Bosung Kim, PhD., Educational Consultant: Learning Design, Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology
