Faculty and instructors assess student learning in the High Impact Practice project or reflection assignment using this rubric. Use of the rubric in HIPs courses is expected.
How to use the Rubric
In Design: 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.
In D2L: Faculty opt in to using the HIPs rubric by attaching it to an assignment folder. The rubric is not designed for grading purposes, but an assessment and tracking of HIPs student learning.
Step-by-step instructions for attaching the rubric to an assignment can be found at: https://ppcconline.blog/dwkb/adding-hips-

Provide the students the survey link as soon as possible after your course’s major assignment/project/reflection. You could even incorporate the survey as the final step of your HIPs assignment. By doing this, it maximizes the response rate and students can reflect on the still fresh memories of their experiences.
Administering the Survey
The link can be sent to students via email, or posted as a D2L announcement.
Sample Announcement:
Students - Please complete this short survey about your course (about 15 minutes). You may have to copy/paste the URL into a browser. It will provide me valuable feedback on your experience and help us improve student learning in the future.
