Presented by Abigail Youngerman 

One strategy for improving student outcomes in a course is the use of rubrics for assessment. Rubrics can also reduce the faculty’s time investment while streamlining and standardizing expectations and scores. Instructors should come prepared with a small, already existing assignment or project to which they are interested in adding a rubric. The basics of rubric creation, including implementation on Blackboard, will be included in this workshop session.
