What is an Analytic Rubric?
Analytic rubrics are assessment resources that assess students across specific criteria. In an analytic rubric, each section of the rubric has an independent score.
For example… in an essay, you might score the student’s ability to summarize, use vocabulary, connect ideas – etc. Each section or criteria of the rubric will have an independent score which is totalled up at the end to provide a comprehensive grade.
With analytic rubrics, the combination of multiple criteria that determine both strengths and areas for growth creates a grade that is comprehensive and helps the student to understand where they were successful and what they might need help developing.
Let’s take a look at some of the most common advantages and disadvantages of analytic rubrics.
Advantages of Analytic Rubrics
- Comprehensive assessment
- Assessment of multiple categories/criteria
- Simple to understand
Disadvantages of Analytic Rubrics
- Can take longer to use (if online tools are not utilized)
- They also highlight areas for growth (weaknesses)
