>> Rubrics may be used to evaluate student work based on defined criteria and scales.
Once the rubric scorecard is created, you may also share it
with other instructors using Enhanced InSite.
To build a rubric, you'll navigate to the rubric manager area of the library's tab.
There are three types of rubrics to choose from.
The standard rubric type 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.
Click on the Percentage icon at the bottom of the rubric manager to use the standard rubric.
A custom rubric type allows you to enter any value directly into rubric's cells.
The maximum value for the custom rubric will be the sum
of the highest value entered in each of the criteria rows.
Click the Pencil icon at the bottom of the rubric manager to use the custom rubric.
Lastly, the qualitative rubric type allows you to create a rubric that has no numeric scoring.
You'll click on the Zero icon at the bottom
of the rubric manager to use the qualitative rubric.
We'll create an example of a standard rubric.
To begin, from the Rubric List icon, select Create New Rubric.
Enter the rubric name into the title field at the top of the rubric.

click directly on the title, description, or percentage value to open the text field box.
Enter the appropriate information and click Enter.

to reveal the trash can icon should you need to delete the criterion.
To add additional rows of criterion, click the Plus icon next to the criteria header.
You'll follow the same process for entering the scale titles and values.

Once you have completed the rubric, be sure to click the Save button
in the bottom right corner of the page.
You may also choose to share this rubric with other instructors.
To do so, click the Import Export icon in the top right corner of the rubric manager.
Click Export to export a copy of your rubric to share with other instructors,
or click Import to import a rubric that's been shared with you.
You can attach a rubric to a paper assignment one of two ways.
The recommended method is to attach the rubric while creating a paper assignment.
For more information on this process, see the creating a paper assignment self training video.
You can also attach a rubric within the grade mark area of the paper.
To do so, let's navigate to the assignments tab and navigate to a paper assignment.
Launch grade mark for a specific assignment.
In the bottom right corner of the page, select the Rubric Scorecard icon.
And to attach a rubric, select the Wrench icon on the right side of the page.
Select the Rubric List icon and choose the rubric that you would
like to attach to this paper assignment.
And click the Link icon to attach the rubric.
That rubric is now attached to every submission for this particular paper assignment.
You can click the icon on the left side of the rubric area to view the rubric in full size.
To score the paper using the rubric, simply click into the rubric style
for each criterion where the student scored.
