Artwork Assessment Rubric
Rubrics make assessing students' work efficient, consistent, objective, and faster. Teachers evaluating an assignment will know implicitly what makes that assignment excellent, mediocre, or in need of improvement. Rubrics take the guesswork and subjectivity out of the assessment. Rubrics also help teachers to focus their own attention on key concepts and standards that students must obtain.
By developing a rubric as a working guide teachers provide the benchmark necessary to improve the quality of students' work and to better ensure that goals and objectives are met. Teachers have the flexibility to reuse the same rubric for other class assignments.
Rubrics provide students with a clear roadmap of what is expected of them. Students have a clear description about what makes a good project versus a mediocre project. Many studies have proven that rubrics improve students' end products because they know exactly what is expected of them to reach a certain grade. Rubrics provide students with concrete feedback that displays areas of strength and areas in need of improvement. Students can use this feedback as a tool to improve and develop their abilities.
Rubrics encourage students to analyze their own work and process how it matches up with the standard explained in the rubric. By using rubrics, teachers give students experience at a higher thinking level and encourage critical thinking skills.
