On Friday, February 26, Amanda Sisselman-Borgia of the Department of Social Work and LaRose Parris of Africana Studies provided a workshop on rubrics featuring both AAC&U rubrics and rubrics they developed in-house. Among other reasons for the use of rubrics, they explained:

• Rubrics encourage healthy conversation about curricular expectations for faculty and staff – a starting point!
• Rubrics create an ongoing dialogue about assignments and assessment.
• Rubrics provide a concrete measure of evaluating student performance.
• Rubrics allow for full curricular transparency between students and faculty.
• Rubrics may allow for greater objectivity during the grading process.
• Rubrics establish an evaluative standard in the classroom.

In the near-term, the entire presentation will be posted on the Lehman College assessment website.
