Rubric and Alternative Assessment

As a teacher we are always worried about, how to motivate students? How to grade them? Do we give each student what he/she deserve. And usually grades are the most students concern. Why I got this mark or how much will I get or receive. So the rubric was my hero. Rubrics is very important for teachers to be reasonable about the marks and it is important how to write the rubric too. Such as :What things to focus on according to the subject and students level you teach. Therefore, this week I have learned a lot. Assessing Learning (Alternative Assessment) helped me to concentrate more about students strength and encourage them in  a good way but that doesn’t have to make me engorge students mistakes no. It means to tell the students in a good way that doesn’t give them negative impression.  So these ways I hope students will be more comfortable and more organized

And I keep telling myself to be relax  : As long as  I could do this course, my students can do it as well..

  1. Hi, I agree with you idea that Rubrics is very important for teachers to be reasonable about the marks and it is important how to write the rubric too. We need to be able to identify even the smallest aspect of the skills that we expect the students to be able to demonstrate or carry out, so we can give a fair and comprehensive assessment of the students' ability.. ..

  2. Dear Awsan, I share your enthusiasm about creating rubrics and sharing them with our students. I have always worried about being objective and setting valuable and fair criteria while assessing my students' performance. Now, when we have been introduced to Rubistar and its templates this week, I am more than happy to be able to create rubrics in a very short time and the whole process is easier and more enjoyable for me.
    Best regards,
    Izela
