The scoring rubric for journal provides a general framework for instructors to evaluate students’ journals. Each instructor will consider a student’s personal learning styles while grading his/her journals. Each instructor will discuss with students his/her variability in grading students’ journals. Students may schedule a journal scoring session at any time to receive input or their final journal grade.
