Abstract

The discussion will describe how rubrics can help provide effective assessment criteria for evaluating written assignments in college undergraduate classes. A student-centered theory focus will highlight how valuable teacher/student communication can help lead to improving student writing. Rubrics can be a practical way to improve feedback, reduce student grade issues and provide accurate and timely information on student writing skills.
