Rubric for Assessment

By: Annas Bentari

Last meeting in PETA class was a starting lesson for making a rubric. Mrs. Mima had been giving us a strategy and ways to make a good rubric. I remembered when she asked us to draw an animal like a rhinoceros. It was so witty when Dasrizal drew that animal like another kind of animal. Some people said it was like a “lemper” or a pig. Actually, Mrs. Mima wanted us to see all drawing from all students to make an assessment based on our criteria. Those criteria will become our rubric for assessment.

Now, I know a bit about how to make a good rubric for assessment. I learn about objective assessment. In fact, that is not easy to assess our friend’s work. However, in the last meeting we just assessed a drawing which meant it was talking about our own taste. It was not easy to make same criteria of drawing tasters. So that’s why, when we had to assess our friends’ work, we had different point of view of those drawings. There is no absolute value of an art.

I relate it with a condition when we must assess a discipline studies. Even to assess a discipline study, we must be careful in determining the characteristics of assessment. We have to think over the objectivities not the subjective.

That’s great of PETA class. I am so proud learning PETA because so far I rarely assess of my friends’ work not based on objectives but it includes a subjective assessment. Hopefully, through this great class I could find the best strategy to enhancing my class atmosphere later.
