Talk:Rubric (academic)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hello. I am happy to see an article about rubrics, but this article emphasizes the disadvantages of rubrics, while saying almost nothing about the advantages. For example, one of the primary reasons to use a rubric is to help students (or learners, to be more general; rubrics are not limited to use in schools) understand clearly what is expected of them before they begin a project or an assignment. Used properly, rubrics allow students to have more responsibility for their own learning and demonstration of understanding.
A second use of rubrics is completely outside of school. As a photographer, I once set up a rubric for a good photograph. It helped me look at my own photographs with a more discerning eye, and immediately improved my photography. I would never put this in a wikipedia article directly, but the idea of using a rubric to evaluate a body of work, regardless of the final audience for that work (teacher, consumer, etc.) belongs in here.
I signed up for a wikipedia account today, so I'll get to this at some point, but if someone is ready to put these thoughts in here, please do so.

[edit] Rubric (academic) and Rubrics (education)
Hi, I found this page : Rubrics (education) which is the same thing, no? Should they be linked together or something?
