Abstract
This paper offers an “automated rubric calculator tool” to effectively align an analytic rubric to resolve a variety of the problems arising from inadvertent inaccuracies in the distribution of marks and the resulting student dissatisfaction. Embracing criterion-referenced rubric is becoming a norm in higher education institutions in recent years for a number of compelling reasons. However, the true benefit of utilizing an analytic rubric will be negated if it is not effectively aligned with respect to subjective and objective standards. Even though aligning subjective standard is challenging, extensive resources are available from research and development to design an effective rubric. Conversely, aligning objective standards is an intuitive process, but laborious and error-prone process. Yet, there has been dearth of research and development to support practitioners in this area. To fill this gap, this paper provides an automated solution to facilitate seamlessly designing an effective rubrics.
