Chapter 11: Grading Rubrics
Grading is a long, grueling process where instructors must read, analyze, compare and identify components of student submissions to the parameters of their assignments and activities. Many different tools have been developed to assist with this process. Blackboard contains such a tool, and a modern one at that!
Ever find yourself grading with a checklist containing a massive numbered or bulleted list of parameters your students need to hit on an assignment? How about having to grade on the fly due to time constraints? Well, Blackboard contains a Grading Rubric tool that lets you construct all of the parameters for every assignment and discussion, so when it is time to perform evaluations all you have to do is click and submit.
This chapter will teach you how to create Grading Rubrics in Blackboard, and how to associate them to assignments and discussions.
