Rubrics

VALUE (Valid Assessment of Learning in Undergraduate Education) Rubrics were developed by teams of faculty from across the United States as part of the Association for American Colleges & Universities. These 16 rubrics articulate fundamental criteria for each learning outcome and have performance descriptors. These rubrics are not intended for grading, but institutional-level use in evaluating and discussing student learning.
