What is there to guide faculty in assessing students’ writing?
A college-wide rubric has been approved by CASSC, and this will be the instrument for assessing students’ writing. There will be CT&D workshops on the use of the rubric for all Gordon Rule Writing faculty and adjuncts starting early in 2006-2, and disciplines will have the option of developing discipline-specific rubrics in the future. During this coming Spring’s implementation period, only the College-wide rubric will be used; however, a discipline committee may recommend a revised or new rubric to the Gordon Rule Committee for implementation after this Spring.
