Rubrics are typically displayed in list or grid form. Within the rubric a series of criteria and traits are listed, usually followed by a rating scale. A specific criterion may be accompanied by a description to better illustrate the expectations for that section. Some rubrics may also give an example of the proper way to execute the criteria.
The use of rubrics can be beneficial to both the person completing the assignment and the evaluator. When given a copy of the rubric prior to the assignment, one is able to see the expectations the evaluator has, allowing for the use of the rubric as a guide while working. Rubrics also give the evaluator a set list of requirements, aiding in efficiency, speed, and objectivity while scoring. After the assignments are scored and returned, the person doing the work can then view the rubric as an aid for determining the strengths and weaknesses of their product, as well as a description of why they received their score. Rubrics can also be a useful and constructive tool for peer-evaluation.
