Designing Rubrics for Business Education
Seminar Room 6.30, Level 6, FBE Building, 111 Barry Street, Parkville
"Designing Rubrics for Business Education"
Assessment rubrics offer the benefit of the explicit assessment and feedback of student learning in business education. Assessment rubrics explicitly articulate the marking criteria and assessment standards while providing students with consistent formative and constructive feedback ‘on/of’ and ‘for/as’ students learning of knowledge and skills as a continuous process. This PD opportunity will introduce you to the steps for designing assessment rubrics that assess knowledge and skills that align with your subject learning outcomes for an assessment task of your choice. You will be given the opportunity to work through the rubric development process to design or enhance your own assessment rubric with the aim of making assessment marking and feedback efficient and consistent.
