Rubistar - a day late

Unfortunately I did not get this assignment completed on time. It didn't take long to actually do the assignment, but life seemed to get in the way this week. I imediately knew what I was going to base my rubric on since I have been grading assignments in the clinical assignment. This rubric would be used to grade assignments completed in Microsoft Excel. Students are required to follow the 5 case assignments at the end of the chapter and the results should look identical to the final example given in the book. All assignments consist of primarily numbers and entering one number incorrectly will cause three other numbers in the spreadsheet to be incorrect.

I liked what Rubistar had to offer and it makes creating rubrics amazingly easy and I know that I will be bookmarking this website to use when I do teaching in the future. Creating a rubric when creating and grading assignments helps not only allows the students to know what is expected of them, but also allows the teacher to have a guideline as to the grading standards. This helps eliminate any vairation in how the assignments are graded.
