Enter Rubric Scores

On this page:

Use these procedures to enter scores for an assignment graded by a rubric. The Full Rubric Score Entry and Simple Rubric Score Entry pages are opened from the Gradebook Entry page by clicking the Rubric Score Entry

 icon in an assignment header. Each score page has two sections:

  • The Rubric Display table displays at the top of the page and shows the rubric that you defined for the assignment. If there are competencies associated with a full rubric's criteria, they are displayed under a Competency Description heading. Simple rubrics list each competency under a Competency heading.
  • The Student Scores Entry grid is below the Rubric Display table, and it displays columns of score fields. Students are listed down the left of the page, and identifiers for each score column are listed across the page. The Class Average for each score is displayed at the bottom of its column.

Refer to What is a Rubric? for more information about rubrics.
