I would be worried that a student might read the rubric and just get the minimum done without really thinking through of thinking deeply about the assignment. I think that in most situations they are helpful, but I always want there to be a row about "effort" or "evidence of deep thinking"-- but is that too subjective?

The system seems odd to me since it allows students not to prepare and not have any consequences. This research, however, seems to suggest that it is helpful to students. --Cameron Mon, 01 Aug 2016 23:09:16 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/3113?scroll_to=7128 https://nowcomment.com/documents/3113?scroll_to=7128 How does this fit with concerns about grade inflation?

I agree that just a number is not helpful. There is a limit to how much a person can absorb at a time, however. Mon, 01 Aug 2016 23:09:16 -0400
