Set Up Rubrics
Settings > Set Up Rubrics
This page allows you to create rubric charts that can be used for grading assignments. A rubric chart is a set of criteria (i.e., skills) used for assessing a student's work or performance and includes levels of potential achievement (i.e., scores) for each criterion.
Once a rubric is created, you can associate the rubric chart with an assignment on Settings > Administer Assignments. Then, the rubric will be available for the assignment on Grades > Assignment Grades.
This page is only available if enabled by the campus.
Create a rubric:
Your existing rubric charts (i.e., rubric charts you created) are listed. Otherwise, the message “No Rubrics Exist” is displayed.
| Rubric Setup |
In the field next to the Add Rubric button, type a unique name for the new rubric chart, then click Add Rubric.
|
|---|
Under Editing Rubric: {Rubric Name}:
A grid is displayed allowing you to enter criteria (i.e., skills) and scores for each criterion.
| Skills |
To add skills to the rubric chart, type the first skill name, up to 50 characters, and click Add Skill. The skill is added to the grid, and a blank field is displayed allowing you to add another skill. |
|---|---|
| Scores |
Each rubric chart must have at least one column under Scores.
For each score, use the Low Points and High Points fields to establish a range of possible points within each score. Or, you can assign a single point value for each score.
Example 1 (with score ranges):
Example 2 (without score ranges):
(Optional) For each skill, type a note about the score as it relates to the specific skill, up to 255 characters. The note is used to further clarify the requirements for awarding points for the skill.
TIP: You can expand the size of the fields by dragging the bottom-right corner of the field to the desired size. When you save the note, the field will return to its original size.
Scores must be entered in ascending order from left to right. |
❏ Click Save.
| Total Points |
The highest possible number of points a student can earn for this assignment is calculated and displayed in the bottom-right corner. The number changes every time you save changes that affect the total possible points for the rubric chart. |

❏ To save a copy of the displayed rubric chart with another name (e.g., to use the rubric chart as a template for another rubric chart), type the new name in the field next to the Save As button, then click Save As.
The new rubric chart is added to the Available Rubrics list. The new rubric chart can be modified as needed.

- You must keep at least one column under Scores.
- The score note field can be modified.
- You can add scores, but you must maintain the same Total Points.

❏ You are prompted to confirm that you want to delete the rubric chart. Click OK.
