Open SUNY NDLW: Are rubrics worth it?
- 2. Are rubrics worth it? Carol Beckley, Associate Professor, Theater Television and Film Arts
- 4. Various modes of understanding
- 5. What can a well constructed rubric can do for instructors and students?
- 6. To share or not to share?
- 7. IF category – Visual Communication, Technology, and Society Learning Outcome # 3 Demonstrate an understanding of visual communication, appropriateness, and cultural considerations in the development and adaptation of technologies.
- 8. The cup…(or glass, mug, canteen,…)
- 9. The assignment: You have 90 seconds to provide a written description of your vessel that: Demonstrates your ability to observe and relay to someone else your understanding of the cup’s contents, exterior and interior properties, size, shape, and use.
- 10. - Did you understand the assignment? - Were you able to jump right in? - Did you know what to focus on? - Were you comfortable with the assignment and the instructions?
- 11. - What are possible ways to grade an assignment like this? - Is there a way for the instructor to ensure equitable grading? - If you were brought in to assess this assignment, how would you distinguish between someone who meets the criteria (3), someone who exceeds the criteria (4), someone who nears meeting the criteria (2), and someone who does not meet (1) - What grade do you think you should get on a scoring basis of 1-4 with 4 being the highest grade?
- 12. Goals for the rubric: Any colleague should be able to assess a learning outcome with the same outcome as the instructor. Sets clear guidelines and expectations for the assignment. Use 3-6 criteria and make sure they are measurable – there needs to be evidence that students met the standard.
- 13. A draft rubric for the cup assignment. What grade did you get based on this? Would you have approached it differently if you had this first? If you were allowed to redo this a second time, would it be beneficial? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz_RERGDYutDck9oTGVMcC01SEk/view?usp=sharing
- 14. I have found these practices to increase student confidence, understanding, and in turn, their grade. Allow students to redo assignments if they are handed in on time. Give students the rubric at the same time as the assignment. Follow a similar format for a group of assignments throughout the semester that use the same rubric. For most students, later assignments show growth and higher achievement. If appropriate, have students engage in the creation of the rubric using a discussion board (or other means). What do they think would be important in an assignment based on the learning outcome. Let them grade sample assignments using the rubric and follow with discussion.
- 15. Resources: Blackboard (or other LMS) Rubric – create and score, can be connected right to your assignment https://www.Roobrix.com – accurately scores a rubric if you are not using Blackboard or something similar that does it for you. https://www.Rubistar4teachers.org – rubric creation https://www.quickrubric.com – rubric creation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReR0icb-4Vk Blackboard tutorial on creating rubrics in Blackboard

On behalf of the Open SUNY team, I would like to welcome you to this “Showcase” webinar as part of National Distance Learning Week. The Showcase aims to feature important and innovative activities, initiatives, projects or practices from around SUNY in support of our mission of networking and excellence in teaching and learning. On each of three days this week, presenters will share what they are doing on their campus. Thank you for joining us to learn from each other and support your peers! Before we introduce our speaker today, I want to encourage you to leave us your name and email address as part of our effort to recognize your engagement today. http://bit.ly/NDLW2017signin (paste link in chat)
- INTRO (promote speakers to moderator) Today, we are pleased to host Carol Beckley, from Buffalo State College, who will be sharing about how she uses rubrics and the benefit of rubrics through an interactive activity. Carol is an associate professor in the theater department and also faculty in the television and film arts department . On behalf of Open SUNY, thank you for joining us today and sharing what you know!
- Especially important in online education that assignments are equally clear to as many students as possible. Rubrics can assist in this process as well as clear instructions in multiple ways – written, audio, video, visual examples if appropriate.
- Using a rubric in tandem with the assignment instructions can assist students in interpreting the instructions in a specific way leading to greater understanding of the assignment.
- Just use it for equitable grading and never show students. Show student when you return the assignment and then allow for a redo or not. Show to student before the assignment so they can see allocation of points and area criteria. This can also be helpful if a student finds they are not going going to be able to complete the assignment, they can see where to put their efforts to get the most points possible. (I deduct 10% for each day late and don’t accept after 4 days late so this can become an important side skill for students in my class. Presumably you’d be discussing the assignment for an in person class or having written/audio or video description for online class and maybe you don’t want the student working from the rubric backwards. I have found in my experience that providing the rubric first, in an online situation works best for a number of reasons. The number one being that the “A” students will get an “A” right off the bat and not after a second go-round. It also is a great contract when students say they didn’t know what I wanted and try to blame me for their poor grade – this is primarily because they didn’t look at it.
- Fictional – IF – Visual Communication, Technology and Society - 100 or 200 level course with 4 learning outcomes – this is outcome #3.
- I’ve asked you to bring a “cup” to the table. This can be any form of drinking vessel from a ” to go” cup to your favorite tea cup to a pickle jar you decided to drink out of today. Anything will do that can hold liquid and can be brought to the mouth for liquid extraction. I am using “cup” in all it’s manifestations. We would have already discussed what makes something a “cup”, why the cup came into existence, ways to describe the cup and contents of the cup, the cup as “technology” and the cup and society. This project would assess how well that information was assimilated into the student’s understanding.
- Heavy cast clay mug perfectly holds black coffee giving off warmth and enticing aromas
- This is particularly targeted to IF 100 and 200 level courses. I have colleagues who do not like to use rubrics because they feel it gives the student a template and they will not learn how to evaluate what is required on their own – this may be valid in upper division courses, but I believe a rubric can always be helpful – the criteria can be vague enough to not tell the student what to do while at the same time be specific enough to ensure equitable grading and accurate assessment.
- If you were to do the assignment again and I gave you two minutes, I’m sure you could all reach level 4. This rubric helps students understand exactly what the instructions mean. The level 4 criteria could be reworded to be the assignment. The rubric can also help the instructor in the development of assignment instructions. Students can see where they lost points and in the process learn to evaluate their own work to make it better. Discussion – get feedback from participants. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz_RERGDYutDck9oTGVMcC01SEk/view?usp=sharing
- I started using comprehensive rubrics in class 6 years ago and have seen, on average, a 20% increase in “A” and “B” averages in the course and a 15% reductions in failure rates.
- I would highly suggest creating your rubric in your online course and attaching them to the assignment. This way you can open it and grade right with the assignment and the grade goes right to the gradebook. Blackboard has an easy to use rubric creator and I imagine other LMSs have them as well. I have attached a link to a youtube video for rubric creation in blackboard. https://www.Roobrix.com https://www.Rubistar4teachers.org https://www.quickrubric.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReR0icb-4Vk

- Answer the following questions: You are comparing your 2 secondary images to the original primary source 1. How accurate is each secondary in terms of shape? In terms of secondary sources for the Mastaba, the shape of each of the two Mastaba’s look nearly the same as the primary source. The only difference that are between each of the secondary sources and primary source. Is the secondary sources seem to be more slanted on a angle. The primary source picture its more of a square shaped and the secondary pictures seem to be more of a rectangle shape. But the general shape of them are nearly the same and they do correlate to a Mastaba. As the secondary sources for the Mastaba’s they seem to have many similarities however one that sticks out is that the first picture the sides of the Mastaba seem to appear more slanted. The second picture shows the sides as more square and they are more slanted on the other secondary pictures. 2. How accurate is each secondary in terms of size? In terms of the size the secondary sources (because of the shape) looks longer by width. The primary source for the Mastaba is a lot more square and appears to be larger in height than the secondary sources. The first secondary picture is more slanted so it gives the look that the size of the Mastaba is longer in length than the primary and other secondary picture. The second secondary picture due to its more square look still looks longer in width than the primary but still smaller than the first secondary. 3. How accurate is each secondary in terms of color? Each secondary in terms of color in correlation to the primary source is largely different. The first secondary source is n a color including blue and a “tan-ish” color. While the other secondary source is in all black and white do to the fact that it’s a hand drawn or a computer based Mastaba. The primary source of the Mastaba looks more like a sand color and that is the only color that is present. There is no red or blue and the Mastaba is not in black and white. 4. How accurate is each secondary in terms of material? For the first secondary source there is a pretty high accuracy of what was used to build a Mastaba and was made out of a form of a brick/stone. The secondary primary picture shows NO proper material of what the Mastaba was made out of. It was a hand-based drawing with just lines and edges. If you saw this secondary source online and you had no idea about Mastaba’s you would have no idea what it would be. 5. How accurate is each secondary in terms of level of detail? In level of detail both the secondary sources show more detail for what is included inside the Mastaba. The second secondary sources shows more characteristics of the Mastaba than the first one. The accuracy of the inside of the Mastaba from the “plan view” that we learned about last module while doing more research is a lot very accurate. The first secondary picture has very limited level of detail. When we relate these two secondary pictures to the primary picture there were a lot more in detail. The primary source selected was not existent in terms of level of detail. 6. How do they differ in use? (For example, the primary pyramid is a burial tomb vs. secondary pyramid used as a paperweight, a hat, a casino an ashtray etc.) The primary Mastaba is a Egyptian Tomb and is used for, tombs. They are used for funerals and to bury the dead. The secondary pictures really don’t do much. They are used to show the viewer how they look from the “plan view” and legit have no sense of use besides to see the ground plan for the Mastaba. 7. Other observed differences or similarities? The second secondary picture has a “offering table” and a chapel more of a religious forte to the picture. While the first picture only has the shaft, the blockage and the underground burial chambers. The major difference(s) of the primary picture and the secondary picture is the secondary pictures have the view of the outside along with the inside floor plan while you can only see the outside of the primary picture which makes way for extra research to see what is inside the actual Mastaba. 8. Note the evolution through Western Civilization seen through your selections. What does the change say about our society? From the time in Egypt that the Mastaba’s were used they buried the dead and used to actually bury royalty. The way that society has changed (well in America) is that we have churches for funeral processions or a specific religious building for all types of religion for funerals. This has changed society because we don’t build a building for a death of someone out of bricks and into a building. 9. Have you ever seen or used the item or a reinvention of the item? Describe your personal interaction with the item. Have you seen it used in a movie, have you used a blanket like a shawl, do you have molding in your house, have you seen a movie in the Period Style? I have never saw a Mastaba before in real life. Haven’t had the chance yet to end up in Egypt. I have no interaction with this item, but would be really cool to see in person. I have never say a movie based on Egypt or even including Mastaba’s before. Some period style movies that seem interesting to me would include, Assal Eswed, or 678. These movies based on Egypt and Period Styles may seem like an interesting topic for discussion. I have not (yet) used a blanket like a shawl and do have molding in my house around the entire thing. 10. Why do you think this item has stood the test of time? Why do we keep repeating/remaining/redesigning Mastaba? What was it’s function originally and how/why is that function still useful? I think that this was a major way of saying goodbye to loves ones and the proper way to do it. Could there of been other ways for funerals and ways to bury the deceased? Sure. However, I think that because the Mastaba’s were originally used for laying the royalty to rest it makes sense that these had stood for the test of time. The Mastaba was apart of Egypt during the Old Kingdom (2727-2175BC). The original use for the Mastaba’s was for a burial chamber/tombstone for royalty. Than was later changed for people of the public that passed away.
- Answer the following questions: You are comparing your 2 secondary images to the original primary source 1. How accurate is each secondary in terms of shape? The accuracy on shape on each of the secondary sources with the primary source is nearly the same. The fact that the Loincloth can only be worn so many different ways this makes most of the sources the same in terms of shape. The first secondary source picture shows that the Loincloth in the picture is more of a square and the second secondary source is more the less a triangle while the primary source is a triangle. 2. How accurate is each secondary in terms of size? The size of each of the Loincloth do however seem to differ throughout each of the sources. The first secondary source of the Loincloth shows that there are two different sizes from the second secondary source. The first picture is larger than the second secondary source picture. The first one is more of a rectangle and the other two are basically triangles. This change in size depends on how you wrap the Loincloth on your body. If you add a fold it becomes a triangle and if you wrap it around you it stays the rectangle/square shaped. 3. How accurate is each secondary in terms of color? The accuracy of the color of each of the two secondary source pictures and the primary picture are all the same. The dominate color is white for each of the secondary and primary sources. The accuracy of each of them is very high and they tend to be that color throughout other secondary and primary sources. 4. How accurate is each secondary in terms of material? Depending on how you may interpret the secondary sources you will see that each of them seem to have some type of “curl” or “roll-up” implying that they are made out of some kind of cloth (hence the name “Loincloth”). The accuracy of the Loincloth with the secondary pictures and the primary pictures is accurate. 5. How accurate is each secondary in terms of level of detail? There is not much detail in Loincloth. More the less there is a way of how they are folded and how they look. The accuracy of each of the secondary sources and the primary sources are very high and the primary source show basically the same thing including the color, design, detail and size of the Loincloth. 6. How do they differ in use? (For example, the primary pyramid is a burial tomb vs. secondary pyramid used as a paperweight, a hat, a casino an ashtray etc.) The primary source was used for clothing for the people of Egypt and the other secondary sources were used for a video game and the other one was used for entertainment purposes meaning for a project on Egypt or Loincloth. 7. Other observed differences or similarities? There are not nearly as many other difference or similarities between the Loincloth secondary and primary sources and the Mastaba primary and secondary sources. 8. Note the evolution through Western Civilization seen through your selections. What does the change say about our society? From the time that the Loincloth took place in Egypt, as is still semi-used now a days in South Africa and Egypt I think that you can see that some things don’t change in society. I think that things in society don’t change. The fact that the Loincloth was a piece of clothing that semi-covered the bottom half of people I think that the evolution really hasn’t changed from each of those along with the change in society. 9. Have you ever seen or used the item or a reinvention of the item? Describe your personal interaction with the item. Have you seen it used in a movie, have you used a blanket like a shawl, do you have molding in your house, have you seen a movie in the Period Style? I have never saw a Mastaba before in real life. Haven’t had the chance yet to end up in Egypt. I have no interaction with this item, but would be really cool to see in person. I have never say a movie based on Egypt or even including Mastaba’s before. Some period style movies that seem interesting to me would include, Assal Eswed, or 678. These movies based on Egypt and Period Styles may seem like an interesting topic for discussion. I have not (yet) used a blanket like a shawl and do have molding in my house around the entire thing. 10. Why do you think this item has stood the test of time? Why do we keep repeating/remaining/redesigning Loincloth? What was it’s function originally and how/why is that function still useful? The use of the Loincloth was for clothing. The basic point was the Egyptians needed to find clothing and a way to make clothing. The Loincloth was a easy way to wear. The Loincloth’s original use was, for men to wear in hot weather to stop heat exposer with possibly heavier clothing on. I guess you could say that America has “redesigned” the Loincloth in fact for women. This could be in terms of a small piece of clothing that just covers the body. This could be certain women undergarments and certain short shorts that hardly cover the women. I think that as Americans we have created and redesigned the Loincloth for are sense of “hip style”. I think that small pieces of clothing can be used for what they were originally used for that being, to not sweat in a heavy amount. The function is still useful so that people don’t’ sweat and over heat. I would say the less amount of clothes means that you will sweat but the way of over heating is a lot lower.
