My Take
Wonderful product. Students and parents benefit from knowing what standards are expected and reduces are arguments over teacher's grading of product
How I Use It
I used rubistar to create rubrics for student-created assignments. It is very helpful to provide them with rubric and standards at beginning of lesson so they are well-informed on what end product should look like
As other previous reviewers have mentioned, it would be helpful for site to incorporate more aids to help teacher develop rubrics.

For instance, content would typically carry more weight that grammar. I usually give students a copy of the rubric ahead of time so they know the expectations beforehand.
