Rubrics

Instructors can create rubrics for assignments. These rubrics are viewable by students and help them understand what type of work deserves what score. If changes are made to a rubric after students have submitted an assignment, the assignment will need to be rescored using the new rubric.
  • The instructor can create a rubric through the Assignments page or the Home page.
