We'd get more folks #teaching in #highered open to rubrics if we just said "share the criteria you'll assess students on. I think there are two reasons why:
1.Building out a traditional grid rubric is a lot of groundwork. A list of criteria and their relative weights is a smaller lift and better than nothing!
2. We're fighting against an unspoken bias against things done in K-12 ed. ::eye roll::
Thoughts about what we'd lose with this move?

@Silhouettes1 @BethanyNMorrison I do agree, building an effective rubric is a skill, and one which gets easier with practice, but also with use and I find that often once I have run an assessment I am refining the rubric before I use it again.
Students should absolutely know what criteria they are being assessed against and this should be a bare minimum really even if people don't want to create rubrics, but then the next part is the demystifying of rubrics
@morefrances @BethanyNMorrison absolutely students should know what criteria they are being assessed on! Students deserve to have ownership over the work they do and to make the choices in it. If they don’t know the expectations (rubric or not) they cannot make a well-informed choice.
In decolonizing and dismantling the gatekeeping of higherEd it’s so important to make sure that students get to have their voice present and decide how to meet expectations.
