Click the text for the level of each criterion that best describes the student's work. As you select levels for each criterion, the rubric will automatically calculate the point Total and the Overall Score. The selections will automatically save in draft state while the assessment is in progress.
You must click a box in each row for students to see the rubric post-grading.
You can modify the points in each row (in the last column). Click enter/return on your keyboard to save the updated score.
Optional: Click the Add Feedback link in the Criteria column (1st column) to enter qualitative feedback for a particular criterion; your feedback will automatically save.
Best practice: Leave overall feedback outside of the rubric in Feedback. Learners will see this Feedback followed by a link to the completed rubric with detailed criteria feedback.
Note: Only the overall feedback is visible in Grades and elsewhere. They must click on the rubric to view details.
On the bottom left of the window, do one of the following:
Click Publish to publish the assessed rubric. Students will see the score and feedback you entered in the rubric when they view the Discussion. The score will also be published to Grades if the discussion topic is associated with a grade item.
Click Save Draft to save the score and feedback but not share it with students.
Note: The checked rubric icon displays to learners when a rubric has been either partially or fully scored. Therefore, learners may believe their post has been fully scored, even if you have not finished grading their post.
You must select a box for every criteria (step 2).
Add additional feedback to a rubric (step 4).
Enter feedback (step 4).
Overall Feedback in Grades (step 5).
