RubiStar

For this assignment, I created an online rubric using a website called RubiStar. Rubrics are extremely challenging to create because you have to make sure you consider all aspects of the assignment. Not only do you have to make sure you acknowledge all of the different requirements on the rubric, but you also have to create a fair grading scale for missing parts. I think that's the hardest part. For example, in the rubric I created using RubiStar, I would have had a hard time determining when students should get a 4, 3, 2, or 1, but the website filled in the choices for me as soon as I chose a category. It was so quick! They also give you the option of changing the wording of the categories they suggest, if you'd like to be more specific in your criterion.

After you create a rubric on Rubistar, you can save it to their website for storage, save it to your computer, or print a hard copy. You can choose if you want to save the file temporarily or permanently and then go back in to edit it whenever you need to. I will DEFINITELY be using this website in the future.
