Quick Tip: Use Rubrics for Grading

When you have to grade subjectively it can be hard to be fair. Since there's no black and white answer, it's easy for emotions to get in the way.

The best thing to do is to create rubrics. You can create them by yourself or with your students. Rubrics are great because they help break everything down into smaller sections, which are easier to grade.

You can find more about using rubrics in rubrics for assessment. So the next time you have to grade speaking or writing in your EFL or ESL classroom, try using rubrics.
