Limit the Number of Evaluative Criteria in Rubrics Print this page Save this page
Limit the number of evaluative criteria in order to maintain student focus on the most important cognitive or performance outcomes. An effective rubric should fit on one side of a sheet of paper. Longer rubrics risk not focusing on the most important learning outcomes. Such rubrics are overwhelming to students and may lower student achievement. Effective rubrics are limited in scope to the most important measurable outcomes.
