Targeted Assessment Rubric: An Empirically Grounded Rubric for Interdisciplinary Writing
A rubric to assess interdisciplinary writing was developed and tested through analysis of 84 pieces of freshmen, sophomore, and senior college student work. Four levels of interdisciplinary understanding are described across 4 dimensions of interdisciplinary work: (a) purposefulness, (b) disciplinary grounding, (c) integration, and (d) critical awareness.
