EdD_Final_Quality_Rubric.docx
The EdD Final Quality Rubric is to be completed by the chair, committee member, and URR member to provide an overall assessment of the doctoral quality and contribution. This evaluation is made independently by each committee member at the final stage and is independent of the
EdD Minimum Standards Rubric. Committee members (including the URR) complete this rubric after their
EdD Minimum Standards Rubrics indicate that the student has met minimum standards.
