These are descriptive scoring schemes that are developed by teachers to guide the analysis of the products or processes of students efforts.
Criteria Setting
Criteria are statements which identify what really counts in the final output.
Example: Quality Creativity Comprehensiveness Accuracy Aesthetics
Identify substatements that would make the major criteria more focused and objective.
Example: Essay on The Three Hundred Years of Spanish Rules in the Philippines Quality Interrelates the chronological events in an interesting manner Identifies the key players in each period of the Spanish rule and the roles that they played Succeeds in relating the history of Philippine Spanish rule

Checklists are appropriate for evaluation when the information that is sought is limited to the determination of whether specific criteria have been met. Scoring rubrics are based on descriptive scales and support the evaluation of the extent to which criteria have been met. If the purpose of assessment have been met
Benefits of scoring rubrics: 1. They support the examination of the extent to which the specified criteria have been reached. 2. They provide feedback to students concerning how to improve their performances
5. Test whether scoring rubric is reliable. Ask two or more teachers to score the same set of projects or outputs and correlate their individual assessments

Example of Holistic
Excellent level Student shows complete understanding of the tasks and concepts Clear identification of key concepts and important elements Excellent writing style Pertinent insight and demonstration of appropriate application of main ideas Good level Understanding of most critical concepts Shows identification of some key concepts but most of the parts are missing Adequate writing style with minor errors, some limited clarity in expressions Scarce demonstration of application of main ideas Poor level Misunderstanding of majority of concepts or no understanding of concepts and processes Irrelevant or illegible response that has no relation to the key concepts Unsuccessful attempt to communicate Lack of demonstration in application of main ideas
Holistic Rubrics Are Suitable for Judging simple products or performances Getting a quick snapshot of overall quality or achievement; often used when a large number of students are graded Judging the impact of a product or performance more than the specific detailed parts of the performance. Disadvantages There is no detailed analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the performance or product, so holistic rubrics are not useful as diagnostics or for giving students detailed feedback on their performance. Holistic rubrics offer little in the way of help to students who would improve their performance.
Analytical Rubric
Analytical
Analytical rubrics divide a product into essential dimensions (traits), and each dimension is judged separately. A separate score is given for each dimension or trait considered important for the assessed performance. Scoring of each trait can be done by using a Likert scale (e.g., 1 to 5 where 1 is poor quality, 3 is average, and 5 is excellent quality).
Example
Criteria 4 excellent The poster is exceptionally attractive in term of design lay out &neatness Several of the graphics used on the poster reflect a exceptional degree of student creativity in their creation and display Graphics are all in focus and the content easily viewed &identified from 6ft away
QUALITY
3 very good The poster is attractive in term of design lay out &neatness
1 needs improvement The poster is distractingly messy or very poorly design it is not attractive
Attractiveness
Originality
One or two of the graphics used on the poster reflect student creativity in their creation or display
The graphic are made by the student but are based on the design or ideas of others.

Analytical Rubric Are Suitable for Judging complex performances that involve multiple dimensions (skills that must be assessed). Each step in the rubric can be designed to measure one specific trait. Provide more specific information and feedback to students about their strengths and weaknesses. Can be used to target instruction to specific areas in need for improvement. Analytical rubrics help students come to a better understanding about the nature and quality of work they must perform. Disadvantages More time consuming to craft and use in grading Lower inter-rater agreement because of the many and detailed traits Less desirable in large scale assessment context when many students must be graded and when speed in grading is essential
3. Try to keep the performance criteria few so that they can be reasonably observed and judged.
4.
Have teachers think through the criteria as a group. Express the criteria in terms of observable student behavior or product characteristics. Avoid vague and ambiguous words like correctly, appropriately, and good. Arrange the performance assessment instruments to use or modify them before constructing them.
