Rubric Guide and FAQ

What is Rubric for?

Faculty and instructors assess student learning in the High Impact Practice project or reflection assignment using this rubric.

TIP: The rubric is not designed for grading purposes, just assessment of HIPs student learning. Students cannot see this rubric.

About the Rubric and HIPs

The rubric addresses the Eight Key Elements of High Impact Practices: Challenge and Time (category 1), Interactive and Diversity (category 2), Feedback and Reflection (category 3), Real World and Public (category 4). Read more on these principles at https://libguides.ppcc.edu/hips . Instructors could mirror the wording in the rubric when designing the reflective assignment or when discussing the connections between course material and the HIPs assignment/project with students.

Use of the rubric in HIPs courses is expected.

HIPs Student Survey

About the Survey

We ask you to give your students the survey link (more on this below) as soon as possible after they have completed your course's major assignment/project, or - better yet - incorporate the survey as the final step in your HIPs-based assignment/project (at in the last two weeks of your HIPs Course). By doing this, we maximize the response rate and students can reflect on the still fresh memories of their experiences.

New for Fall 2020:

HIPs now has a new adaptive student survey - regardless of practice - that asks students only those questions relevant to their reported learning experience. It features the same questions as previous semester with slight rearrangement and an added COVID-19 project impact question.

Faculty now only have to administer the single survey link below:
