\u200b<\/span>What are the\u00a0<\/span><\/b>benefits<\/span><\/b>\u00a0for students?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rubric can be shared with students prior to the<\/span>ir assignment submission<\/span>, so that they can use it as a guide to the\u00a0<\/span>objectives that need to be met to get the best grade possible.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After their work has been marked<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the completed rubric can be shared with<\/span>\u00a0student<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>so they<\/span>\u00a0have transparency of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>how<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>they were graded and view their feedback<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
