Rubrics work well to ensure constructive feedback provided by students because they clarify expectations for both targets and quality with students and assist in three major teacher activities – improving output, grading assessments and communicating project requirements to the students.
A rubric has rows of criteria that clearly describe how students will be assessed on a particular project. And it has columns of scores and how those scores are assigned. A good rubric must have criteria that are uni-dimensional, so students and raters know exactly what the expectations are. One main benefit of aligning and clearly stating expectations is that it creates transparency in grading; grades will seem less arbitrary if students can see what grades are based upon especially important in peer grading.
