What are Rubrics?

Rubrics are a great way for students to see what is expected of them, the value of those expectations, and how they affect their grade on an assignment or discussion. Rubrics help in the grading process by allowing instructors to simply click or tap on the point value the student has achieved. 

Rubrics can be used with Peer Review as well. Students will be able to use the same criterion/requirements that the instructor is using to give quality feedback.

​

Use a Rubric to:

• Communicate assessment expectations to users.

• Align predefined learning Outcomes to your course assessments.

• Assess online submissions in the SpeedGrader™.
