Checkbox Style Grading Tool
Instead of using a rubric, which is not quite precise enough for the feedback that I would like to give, I have a menu of comments, most of them associated with a grade penalty. Here is an example from an Excel spreadsheet:
Dilemma | A and B options lack brief description | -12 | (or -6 if only one) | Please note that guidelines ask you to briefly state the action in the first sentence followiing the A and B labels. |
Dilemma | A and B options lack action altogether | -24 | (or -12 if only one) | Please make sure that the A and B options refer to actions not just values or principles. |
Now, what if each row of the spreadsheet could be connected to a checkbox menu? If I check a series of applicable rows, the grading tool would post the comments and apply the grade. Open an Assignment in Speed Grader (usually a discussion post in my case), click the grading tool. Check, check, check. Enter. Boom. I'm in grading heaven (well, at least no longer in that other place).
