A while back, I had some markers who staunchly declared that while marking assignments with ‘.pdf’ rubrics was all fine and dandy, they weren’t terribly big fans of using PDFExchange. It’s a surprisingly limited piece of software, and I definitely echo the sentiment. Because our materials that are switched into the online realm all start out as .pdf’s the rubrics were never really altered from that state. Sure, they look sweet and they have the Adobe option buttons for printing, saving, etc. at the bottom of the page (right hand corner), but markers don’t like writing all their comments on a rubric in red.
I went through then and created bastard Word versions of these rubrics. I thought I did a pretty thorough job, but it turns out I missed one (the 4.5 polished visual response). Working on this today I realized, “Oh hey, maybe team teachers would like word versions of the course rubrics….” I’ve attached them here to be at your disposal, but please know that in your actual online course variant, the 4.5 rubric will need to be added to the dropbox– it won’t already be there.
You don’t have to do this, it’s all a matter of preference, but if you are interested in instruction on adding files to dropboxes, please let me know! Send me a Tweet @atomickj!
