Description:

As a part of the Graduate Teaching Fellows Workshop Series, this workshop will provide an overview of why, when, and how to use rubrics in teaching. We will reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of rubrics as a grading strategy and provide practical advice on when they can be incorporated into your instructor toolkit. The session will include a discussion of common rubric structures, techniques for developing an effective rubric, and tips for applying rubrics to student work. The content of the workshop will focus primarily on examples from the social sciences, but faculty and graduate student instructors in any discipline are welcome to attend.
