Module 5: Video Analysis-Rubrics

                 Rubrics are scoring tools used to assess subjective assignments. Using rubrics help teachers grade subjective assignments more consistently and with similar results. I usually use rubrics when grading writing assignments. When using a rubric it is helpful to go over the expectations of the rubric with the students before they begin the assignment.  This gives students a better idea of what their final outcome should include and how to earn the best possible score. Once the assignment has been graded, the students can look at the rubric to see their strengths and weaknesses. They can see what area of the assignment they may have lost points in and strive to improve upon that area next time.
