How to Create & Use Rubrics for Assignments
Introduction
A Rubric is an assessment tool for communicating expectations of quality. Rubrics are a way to set up custom or outcome-based assessment criteria for scoring. Rows are used to define the various criteria being used to assess an assignment. Columns are used to define levels of performance for each criterion.
