Rubrics

A rubric is a template that is used to evaluate and grade papers or projects. There are sections that a person is graded on and a person is awarded points based on their quality of work; the higher the quality of work, the higher the points and, therefore, the higher the grade on the paper. There are divisions in rubrics such as organization, creativity, staying on topic, and clarity. When I was in my Advanced Placement Literature class, my teacher used rubrics for projects and for our major research paper. For little papers, we didn’t have rubrics. I experienced rubrics in my Art classes, surprisingly enough.
