Rubrics

A rubric is a scoring tool (a simple list, chart, or guide) that describes the criteria being used to score or grade an assignment. Rubrics divide an assignment into its component parts and provide a detailed description of what constitutes acceptable or unacceptable levels of performance for each of those parts. Rubrics can be used for grading a large variety of assignments and tasks like research papers, book critiques, discussion participation, laboratory reports, portfolios, group work, oral presentations, and more.
