Rubrics - a tool for feedback and assessment viewed from different perspectives: Enhancing learning and assessment quality (1st ed. 2021.)

This IAMSE Manual describes how to use rubrics in higher education, especially in the highly specialized health sciences education setting. The book provides a conceptual framework, practices and a series of checklists that lecturers can use to design their own rubrics for a variety of situations and content. It highlights varying perspectives, from teachers, students, educational advisors, and curriculum managers, while providing practical tips for developing and using rubrics. 

The objectives of the manual include guiding health sciences educators in:

• Providing useful, actionable and efficient feedback to students on assignments using a structured format (i.e. using rubrics)
• Implementing a  learning culture where giving "rich feedback" is standard practice
• Using rubrics to increase quality of assessment of assignments (validity, reliability, transparency)
• Incorporating, in the instructional setting, latest insights in the appropriate use of rubrics in the health sciences education setting.
