1 Effective Rubrics The following pages provide websites where Rubrics can be easily and quickly created, edited and stored using FREE utilities, and also banks of preexisting rubrics for your use.

Additional Editing Options Registered users may edit the title, category names, and rubric rows, rubric content, and can also add "weights" to different rubric rows. Analyze Rubric Data Registered users can analyze the performance of their whole class. After students have done the project and the rubric has been used to grade it, you can enter the student scores into RubiStar to determine which items are problematic for the class as a whole. I especially like that the rubric can be ed, exported, or copy/pasted into any Word document or webpage even! Rubrics -- Tools and Tips Page 2
