Educational notes

Students can find it very challenging to relate their Rubric feedback to their numeric mark. One approach is to allow the Rubric to calculate the mark by associating points with each level. Students can then understand the relative weighting of each criteria, and where they lost and gained marks. Some UCL students have reported that they appreciate this clarity, and some tutors have said it helps them to focus their responses to student queries.

Students appreciate assessors using the comments field to explain the level the student reached on each criterion of the Rubric.

Where Rubrics are used, it is helpful to use the same wording as the criteria in any inline comments, as far as possible, to help students relate those the comments to the criteria.
