A rubric is a scoring tool you can use to evaluate graded work. When you create a rubric, you divide the assigned work into parts. You can provide clear descriptions of the characteristics of the work associated with each part, at varying levels of skill. Watch a video about rubrics.
Students can use a rubric to organize their efforts to meet the requirements of the graded work. When you allow students access to rubrics before they complete their work, you provide transparency into your grading methods.
You can create multiple rubrics in your course. Rubrics consist of rows and columns. There are no limits to the number of rows and columns you can add to your rubrics. The rows correspond to the assessed criteria. The columns correspond to the level of achievement that describes each criterion. You can create four types of rubrics: percentage, percentage range, points, and points range. New rubrics have four rows and four columns. You can delete all but one row and one column. You can associate rubrics with assignments, discussions, and journals. [view screenshot]
NOTE: You can only associate rubrics with assignments. You can't create rubrics at small screen widths, such as mobile devices. Rubrics are read-only on mobile devices.
