Grading your assignment
Consider these tips as you develop a grading rubric for the Wikipedia assignment:
- Check the Dashboard regularly, monitoring student progress on the weekly tasks.
- Most students work on existing articles, which can be more work than creating a new article altogether.
- The Dashboard does not allow you to enter grades.
- You may grade each task on a scale or as Complete/Incomplete.
- We strongly recommend grading your students on whether they've completed the training modules.
- Required reflection papers help you learn about the work students did, and they're a great place for length requirements like words or pages.
- The back page of the Editing Wikipedia brochure offers a handy checklist for evaluating student work.
- Here's a sample grading rubric ( PDF version | .doc version ) you can customize or distribute to students for guidance.
