An administrator can create rubrics for instructors to use from the rubric library.
There are four rubric types:
Standard Rubric: Allows you to enter scale values and criteria percentages. The maximum value for the Standard rubric will be the same as the highest scale value entered
Custom Rubric: Allows you to enter any value directly into the rubric cells. The maximum value for the Custom rubric will be the sum of the highest value entered in each of the criteria rows
Qualitative Rubric: Allows you to create a rubric that has no numeric scoring; this rubric allows you to provide standard feedback only
Grading Form: Allows you to create a rubric that has a list of criteria that contains free response text fields and the ability to score each criterion.
