I do have a rubric I put up in all of my classes, but it's one of those huge, unwieldy rubrics that have this is what an A paper is like, etc, not one that has points on it.
I have found that using a rubric for writing becomes really limited because a rubric is easiest to use for quantifiable stuff (like grammar, punctuation, spelling, formatting) rather than more subjective stuff like sentence quality and depth of idea. Every time I've tried to use a rubric, it's always resulted in horrible grades for students because they get dinged, dinged, dinged for SPAG.
I will be sitting on this thread hoping someone has an idea.
