All types of feedback
Rubrics () is a useful feedback tool, regardless of who provides feedback. Rubrics clarifies in schematic form the expected parts of the assignment and divides what must be fulfilled in order for an answer to be unacceptable, acceptable or above expectations. Thus, rubrics can be used to balance expectations with students, as a guideline for assessing students assignments and as the alignment of different assessors' assessment of assignments.
