A Rubric is an assessment tool for communicating expectations of quality. Rubrics are typically comprised of rows and columns. Rows are used to define the various criteria being used to assess an assignment. Columns are used to define levels of performance for each criterion.
For Challenge 5, build a Rubric and add it to the Assignment you created in the last Challenge. You can build a Rubric using your own criteria or you can copy the criteria in the Rubric example below. Your Rubric must have at least three criteria with four ratings each.
Criteria | Ratings | Pts | |||
Spelling, Punctuation, and Grammar | 5 pts | 3 pts | 2 pts | 1 pts | 5 pts |
Components of the Report | 5 pts | 3 pts | 2 pts | 1 pts | 5 pts |
Descriptors | 5 pts | 3 pts | 2 pts | 1 pts | 5 pts |
Total Points: | 15 |
