Grading Techniques/Using a Rubric to Provide Feedback

You can save time when providing assignment feedback to large classes by referring to the rubric when highlighting example student answers, and then explaining how/why they were scored/marked as they were. By showing a spectrum of answers, you can also indicate to students how they must approach similar questions in future to attain high scores/marks.

Depending on the situation, you may also wish to provide a marked rubric with each student’s assignment, so that they can see how they have been assessed on each question¹². This can be very useful for students, and can again save you time in providing feedback in large classes as it can reduce the need to write explanations to justify scores/marks throughout.
