Creating Grading Rubrics to Evaluate Student Work and Provide Useful Feedback
Tuesday, October 11, 5:00 - 6:30 p.m., White Hall Classroom Building, Room 208

One tool that can be very effective for all instructors is to develop a scoring rubric for each assignment. This workshop will provide you the opportunity to develop an effective scoring rubric. Please come with an assignment in hand, if available. Led by Dr. David Sacks, Faculty/Instructional Consultant, The Center for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching (CELT)
