It is that time of the semester when our students are busy submitting their final projects and taking our final exams. Right now the hallways have quieted but there is still a lot of activity on campus as students near the end of the semester.
My courses ended on Monday so I have the remainder of the week to finish my grading (self-imposed deadline). As I have noted in prior posts, I rely on rubrics to support my evaluation of the students' work. These rubrics enable a more structured and consistent evaluation but I still find my evaluations include
a level of subjectivity. I also notice that while using the rubrics in my evaluations, I find issues with the coverage and criteria used in the rubrics.
Like many aspects of teaching, the grading and evaluation rubrics are a work in progress and we continually make incremental improvements. I don't know if it is possible to completely systematically evaluate my students' work and remove all subjectivity but I hope I can continue to make progress in doing so.
