Rubrics can be used to evaluate student work based on defined criteria and scales. They are a set of standards linked to the levels of student achievement. Each criterion within a rubric includes a description of the level of achievement and optionally a numeric value attached to each criterion. When marking, rubrics allow the lecturer to select the level to which the student has achieved each criterion and to add further comments for each. If the numeric grade option is used the rubric will calculate a total grade for assignment. The Rubric should be designed using the assessment criteria for a specific module assignment.
