Types of Rubrics – Holistic vs Analytical

Page 6: Rubrics, Rubrics, & More Rubrics

General vs. Task-Specific General rubrics contain criteria that are general

across tasks. Advantage: can use the same rubric across

different tasks Disadvantage: feedback may not be specific

enough Task specific rubrics are unique to a specific task.

Advantage: more reliable assessment of performance on the task

Disadvantage: difficult to construct rubrics for all specific tasks
