What Are My Rubric Results Telling Me?

Rubrics offer a number of benefits for faculty. These include providing a way to clearly communicate expectations to students, as well as to easily describe levels of student achievement.

Despite these benefits, faculty are sometimes stumped in interpreting and summarizing rubric results.

Fortunately, there are a number of techniques that can be used to make the process easier and more productive.
