Peer Review Using Rubrics. Rubrics are like roadmaps. I believe rubrics should be provided at the start of any assignment, task, or project that will be assessed using a rubric. That way, students can reference the rubric as they work. They provide clarity about what students are working toward.

Rubrics are a well-accepted, even transformative tool for assessing student knowledge over a breadth of criteria.

That changed with online rubrics.
