SAMPLE

CRITERIA FOR EVALUATING THE THREE BROCHURES IN EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY

(A ranking system is used whereby the set of brochures is placed in one of three categories--Incomplete, Complete, Outstanding. Using this system it is possible that a student could produce a very good set of brochures but end up with a B grade.  There is some subjectivity involved with this type of evaluation procedure but some of the attributes that are normally considered to influence the reader's judgment are seen below.)

Interpreting Grades for the Authentic Assessment Format

Low--- 0 (C range)

minimal effort and quality--lacking in most substantive areas

Level 1 (B- Range)

strong in a one or two areas but lacking in many key areas

Level 2 (B Range)

strong in a few areas but lacking in several key areas

Level 3 (B+ Range)

strong in a few areas but lacking in a few key areas

 

Level 4 (A- Range)

strong in most areas but lacking in a few key substantive areas

Level 5 (A Range)

strong in most areas with no substantive information missing.

Level 6  (A+ Range)

strong in all areas with no substantive information missing

 However, remember no more that 50% of the grades are to be in the A range (A-, A, A+)
