Rubistar is straightforward – it is an easy way
of creating rubrics for teachers to give to their students when they are
clarifying the expectations and grading criteria of an assignment. Rubistar offers many different generic rubrics
that can be used by simply clicking the desired category to insert into the
rubric, but the rubrics can also be customized by the user to fit the exact
criteria of that particular assignment. The rubrics are categorized by subject.

Rubistar would be helpful for advanced
assignments in middle school, high school or college. I have not seen rubrics
used at an elementary level, although I suppose simple rubrics could be used for
older elementary students to clarify bigger projects or for explaining simple
instructions to younger children (i.e., reading independently was one of the
categories available). Rubrics are very helpful for clarifying what is expected
in assignments, and to have access to generic rubrics that can also be
customized could potentially save an instructor quite a bit of time.

It seems simple to use and as if it would be a
useful time-saving tool for teachers who like to use rubrics. The website could
have been more inviting. It was pretty bland to look through and did not offer
information in a very interesting way.
