Attaching Rubrics to Assignments
Why Use Rubrics?
Rubrics can be attached to assignments and discussions for the purposing of grading student work and providing students feedback. Instructors can create criterions or import outcomes in the rubric. When outcomes are used in rubric instructors can track student data on specific outcomes in the Mastery Learning Gradebook. See course settings tutorial for details on how to enable Mastery Learning Gradebook feature options. See the Outcome tutorial for instructions on setting up outcomes in your course. View the tabbed menu below for more information.

Important Notes
Please note the following about using rubrics with assignments.
- Rubrics can also be created from the outcome page and can have outcomes attached to the rubric. See Using Outcomes for Tracking Student Mastery
- If the option, Using this rubric for grading, is checked, when you grade assignments using the rubric ratings in the SpeedGrader, the score box in the right pane of the SpeedGrader will automatically be filled based on your selection of rubric ratings.
- If the option, I'll write free-form comments when assessing students, is checked, when you grade assignments the rubric will only display the criterion and an option to add comments. In the SpeedGrader, the comments for each criterion can be saved for future use.
- When you use the Find a Rubric option, the rubric that you attach will NOT be set for grading. Be sure to click the pencil icon and edit the rubric to your desired settings. Click Update Rubric when done.
- You cannot use a rubric for grading in quizzes in the current quiz tool, since quiz scores are calculated based on the number of points assigned to each quiz question.
- Rubrics cannot be added to quizzes in the new quiz tool; however, outcomes can be added directly to quiz or question.
