I have joined the rubric movement

Being inspired by many of you here, along with grading complaints and uninspired student performance, I have created many rubrics for this coming semester. Presentation rubrics. Participation rubrics. Slide deck rubrics. Assignment rubrics. Rubrics for days.

I resisted for a while bc it seemed that students should be internally driven to do great work, especially In major courses. But that ship seems to have sailed.

In what ways have you seen rubrics helping in your own work?

Have you seen any negative impacts from having a lot of rubrics?

Do you think student performance improved bc of rubrics?
