  1. Pros and cons of analytic and holistic rubrics
    1. ANALYTIC
      1. PROS:
        • Useful when task is composed of discrete skills or knowledge • Provides direct advice on set criteria • Shows students specific strengths and weaknesses • Easier to moderate marking in large classes with large number of markers • Can take more time to develop.
      2. CONS:
        • Can over-partition a task so that the result is biased towards small skills rather than the overall achievement • Can produce a biased results if criteria are not carefully selected • Can focus on detailed, lower level skills rather than deeper understanding and knowledge.
    2. HOLISTIC
      1. PROS:
        • Useful for tasks that contain inter-related skills and knowledge • Useful for tasks that are holistic in nature e.g. works of art, creative writing, engineering design, essays, projects • Can focus on higher order, inter-related knowledge and skills • May be more authentic in nature • Can be quicker to develop.
      2. CONS:
        • Can be more difficult to moderate in large classes with large number of markers • May not provide the detailed feedback students expect • Can produce a biased result if markers are not clear on what is required.
6. Collaborative rubric construction
1. Whole-of-course approach to rubric development :
  1. More and more course coordinators are using rubrics to define the standard of specific generic skills
2. Moderation of rubrics
  1. Moderation of rubrics is part of the wider moderation of assessment which seeks to ensure that procedures and practices are valid and reliable and are aligned with its stated standards, principles and ethos
