It is based on Richard Paul's Universal Intellectual Standards and includes clarity, specificity, accuracy, logic, relevance, significance, breadth, and depth. <BR/><BR/>That rubric works for at least some of the projects. Where it doesn't, I invite the students to design their own rubric which spells out the criteria on which they feel they should be judged. If necessary, I negotiate that with them. <BR/><BR/>In any case, they are asked in their reflection to talk about what they think they did well, and they have the option of arguing for a particular grade if they think they deserve it, as long as they can provide evidence. <BR/><BR/>Since I'm working with them pretty much every step along the way, there usually aren't a lot of surprises at the end, and a large majority of the grades are simply me signing off on what is clearly superior work. There are exceptions, but they're mostly when students have repeatedly put off until the last minute doing what they know they need to do, and then not having enough time to do it well.<BR/><BR/><BR/>- BBruce Schaublehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663735635816558661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2284837106090895124.post-19649440534528487452007-04-11T20:00:00.000-07:002007-04-11T20:00:00.000-07:00Cool idea.

How do you make it "fair" for all students? For example, it seems that building a surfboard and writing a novel require two different skill sets that would need their own individual evaluation criteria.Mr. B-Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628569059610320379noreply@blogger.com
