Rubric Development Exercise

Goal:  Collaborate with your colleagues to develop a rubric for peer feedback that will help you get information useful to you for clarifying your thinking and refining your writing.

Steps:

1. Introduction (Adam, 10 min)

  • Proposal evaluation (thinking about audience)
    • clarity of purpose, questions, intellectual merit, broader impacts
  • Writing and feedback as a process for "clarifying thought" (Woodford, 1967)
    • rubrics for peer feedback

    2. Form groups (5 min)

    3. Group work: draft/adapt a peer feedback rubric (30 min)

    4. As a class: Compare rubrics and synthesize key categories and criteria for peer feedback (15 min)
