Negative rubric worked well for some instructors.
“I will say my students express positive feedback with regard to the [negative] rubric. Because when they do look at their homework, they feel like they’re gaining more knowledge based on what they got off and, two, when they see that they got points deducted, they actually go and look at what the point was for.”
Sharing rubric with others keeps grading consistent
“On the exam we are definitely sharing. So for example, this last exam I graded problem one for all the sections. All 400 exams or whatever there are. And I used the same rubric for each one. So we basically created the exam assignment in one section, graded enough of them to shake down the rubric and make sure we thought it was okay. And then we copied that assignment to the other sections so that the rubric was the same.” –Instructor & Freeform Developer
Gradescope is a useful tool for grading.
“I was a massive fan [of Gradescope]. I’m convinced that it saved me, I’m just guessing, but I feel like it’s between 25% and 35% grading effort.” –Instructor & Freeform Developer
