Rubric Evaluation Questions

After you have developed/adapted a rubric for your own use, use the following items to assess how strong that rubric is. While every rubric doesn’t need each item listed, these items should help you to assess the overall strengths and weaknesses of your rubric. You can also use this as a peer review sheet if you are lucky enough to get a colleague to give you feedback on your rubric.
