David, that's a huge improvement over your old system. Kudos on recognizing the need and attending to it, and yes, the rubric of real life, well said. Yo! David,

For every assigment I specify areas in which I look to evaluate their work. I then score each category (i.e. follwed directions, tells a story, maximize depth of field, caption well writtent and adds context,...) based on the items listed below.How work is evaluated: A = The work has exceptional merit: superior vision, creativity, initiative in problem solving, thoughtfulness and effort, and fulfills all assignment requirements and goals in an exceptional and significant manner. Technical quality of work is excellent. It follows assignment instructions. B = Work is well done. Work exhibits good vision, creativity, initiative in problem solving, thoughtfulness and effort, and fulfills assignment requirements and goals in a better-than-average manner; however, vision, and/or framing, and/or timing, and/or aesthetic quality, and/or writing could be improved. C = Work is of average quality. Work exhibits acceptable but average vision, creativity, initiative in problem solving, thoughtfulness and effort, and fulfills assignment requirements and goals in an average manner and contents content of interest. D = Work shows a barely adequate effort. Work demonstrates serious effort to fulfill the assignment requirements and goals but is unacceptable and poorly executed. Or, work shows little effort and does not meet professional standards. The work demonstrates that the student tried to fulfill the assignment but had serious technical problems or did not carry through with enough effort to produce a usable assignment. F = Student turned in something, but the work is unacceptable. Work does not fulfill assignment requirements and goals and demonstrates unacceptable effort and results. Or, work is incomplete technically, in content, or through late submission. I use a similar rubric when grading. For every assigment I specify areas in which I look to evaluate their work.
