Guiding Students to Use Rubrics

A strong rubric is the backbone for effective peer assessment as it provides a clear framework for assessing and providing feedback on peers’ work. Rubrics ensure objectivity, consistency, and fairness in the evaluation process. While creating an effective rubric may seem like a challenging task, many instructors have seen increased critical thinking and consistent peer grading with clear rubrics.
