Rubrics for Course Assessment

A rubric is a tool to aid in marking by setting clear expectations in advance of receiving the work from students. Rubrics go beyond a marking guide by not just listing criteria to be judged, but also by providing clear examples of what each level of achievement looks like.

What is a rubric?

Put simply, a rubric is a tool that helps save time during marking and helps provide effective feedback to students. Rubrics are written alongside the assignment and lay out the criteria on which students will be assessed, and what each level of achievement looks like.

A rubric can be holistic or analytic depending on what is needed. Holistic rubrics consider the student work as a whole, while an analytic rubric breaks the marking down into independently assessed components.
