Critical Thinking Rubrics
The Higher Order Thinking Committee suggested to Undergraduate Council that Truman adopt a common rubric for talking about and evaluating critical thinking. The committee suggested the University explore two rubrics: one prepared by the AAC&U and one prepared by Washington State University. In this session, we will explore the two different rubrics by applying them to selected student works. Participant Preparation Expectations: Review the rubrics: • Association of American Colleges and Universities Critical Thinking VALUE Rubric; and • Washington State University Guide to Rating Critical and Integrative Thinking [Both in HOTS Report, Appendix 4: pp. 17-26] http://ugc.truman.edu/materials/HOTSrevised8-16-11.pdf • Liberal Arts and Sciences Portfolio Writing and Critical Thinking Rubric [for comparison] http://portfolio.truman.edu/Descriptors/RubricforAnalyticalWritingAssessment.pdf B.
