A rubric that is co-created with students, used toevaluate peer, self, and teaching assessments, and then used to assign grades is an instructionalrubric, and a rubric solely used by an instructor to assign grades is a scoring rubric [6]. Since thegoal of this paper is to describe rubric development in industry environments, where instructionis not the goal during the hiring process, scoring rubrics will be the focus of this paper.Different Types of Rubrics Rubrics

As such, the purpose of first-yearseminars is to help students establish a connection with the college as well as their peers. Ageneral assumption is that students will acquire
