Criteria
- What does good performance on this task look like?
- So, what does a good criterion look like? It should be clearly stated; brief; observable, statement of behavior, written in language students understands.
- Guidelines:
- Limit the number of criteria; keep it to the essential elements of the tasks.
- You do not have to assess everything on every task.
- Smaller, less significant tasks usually require fewer criteria.
