Rubrics are a great tool for communicating the expectations of an assignment and the criteria for success to students. Yet, an effective rubric can be a challenge to create. In this workshop, we’ll examine the strengths and weaknesses of some rubrics together before exploring ways to get started with developing a rubric for an assignment you use. Feel free to bring an existing assignment or rubric to this workshop if you have one.

This workshop is part of the Evidence-Based Teaching Strategies series for GW instructors seeking strategies to increase student engagement and communicate with learners in new ways. Workshops in this series are sponsored by the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE). The CTE provides comprehensive, integrated solutions for instructors in search of teaching solutions. If you need feedback on assignment or syllabus design, advice on teaching methods, or ideas for new activities, consider booking a consultation with the CTE.

All sessions are free to GW students, faculty, staff, and alumni. GW has an institutional commitment to ensuring that all of our programs and events are accessible for all individuals. If you require any accommodations to participate in this event, please contact libraryevents@gwu.edu at least 72 business hours (3 business days) prior to the event.
