The Beauty of the Rubric

• Helps you be objective and grade consistently for each student.

• Shows the student what they have to do for full points.• Can also give the students a guide to organizing their paper

or presentation or discussion.

Define the differences between points. Offer more detail of each

section.

Create your assignment first and then add the rubric.

Click the gearshift at the top right to add a rubric to a discussion.

Remind your students to “show rubric” in a discussion!
