Paul Leslie from the Education Faculty at Sharjah Women's College discusses using rubrics for grading. A rubric is provided that evaluates student work across four categories: critical understanding, structure and organization, references, and language usage. Each category is worth a different percentage of the total grade. Scores are assigned on a scale of 1-10 for each category. An example of a completed rubric is shown grading a student's work. The grades for each category are multiplied by the category's weight and added together to calculate the student's total score in Excel. Resources are also provided on the Excel sheet used, rubric grading, and using discussion boards for assessment.
