Dr. Douglas Shumavon, Professor, Political
Science
(ACT I, Spring, 2005)

Dr. Shumavon created
several rubrics for use in his POL 466, Public
Policy Analysis, and POL 406, Public Policy Analysis
Laboratory, courses. POL 466 is a capstone
course for students majoring in public administration.
The capstone assignment is for students to work
in teams of three to produce a policy report of
approximately sixty pages. This project
is broken down into smaller parts such as problem
definition and alternative analysis which are
worked on in the laboratory part of the course.
Dr. Shumavon found that developing rubrics for
several of these assignments caused him to articulate
to the students criteria for assessing performance
in a more rigorous format than he had done in
the past. Feedback from the students indicated
that they appreciated the guidance on what he
was looking for. |
