Option 1. Spend a lot of time and energy developing through trial and error a rubric that genuinely tracks learning outcomes effectively.
Option 2. Download rubrics rigorously developed by the VALUE Rubric Development Project for the free use of all faculty (Association of American Colleges and Universities).
If only all choices were so easy!
Still not sold on rubrics? Listen to this episode of Teaching in Higher Ed to change your mind.

Teaching Naked
Teaching Naked: How Moving Technology Out of Your Classroom Will Improve Student Learning by Jose Antonio Bowen.
(Note. Pants are not optional. "Teaching Naked" is Bowen's term for face-to-face teaching, in contrast to teaching that takes place through the many electronic outlets now available to us.)
It's a catchy and provocative title, but don't be fooled! This is no Luddite manifesto. Curmudgeons looking for a case against instructional technologies will be disappointed. Here Bowen argues powerfully for the effectiveness of technology for learning. Or at least, he argues for its effectiveness when implemented thoughtfully, in accord with research results in the science of learning.
Don't have time for the book? Try the Ted Talk. Don't have time for a 17 minute Ted Talk? Adjust the settings and watch on 1.5x speed!
