When to Use?
You can create rubrics to use as a scoring tool when evaluating graded work. Review the instructions or watch the video below to learn more.
Procedure
- You can start the process of creating a rubric from the gradebook, or when creating an assessment.
- In your gradebook, select the Settings icon. Then, in the Gradebook Settings panel, select Create New Rubric in the Course Rubrics section.
- When creating an assessment, you will need to create your rubric before you add questions to the assessment.
- On the assignment, test, or discussion page, select the Settings icon to open the Settings panel.
- In the Additional Tools section, select Add grading rubric, and then select Create New Rubric.
- On the New Rubric page, type a title, and then select a Rubric Type.
- By default, four criteria rows and four achievement level columns appear. You can add, delete, and rename the rows and columns. Point to a cell to access the edit and delete icons. Select the plus sign wherever you want to add a row or column and type a title. If you don't want a row or column, you can delete it.
- The criteria total percentage must equal 100%. If the percentages don't equal 100, a warning message appears at the bottom of the screen. Select Balance Criteria next to the message to auto-adjust the percentages so they equal 100. Or you can manually update the percentages as needed.
- For the levels of achievement, one column must have a value of 100%.
- You can align goals with rows in the rubric if you want to measure achievement against goals set by your institution. Select Align with goals to get started.
- When you are finished creating your rubric, select Save.
Editing a Rubric
If you see this banner at the top of the page when viewing a rubric, you will not be able to edit it because the rubric has already been used to grade one or more assignments.
To edit a rubric, point your mouse on the part of the rubric you’d like to edit. When you do, a pencil icon appears. Click on the pencil icon to edit that part of the rubric. You can edit any or all parts of the rubric.
