Grade Rubric

A Grade Rubric is a set of guidelines used by instructors to evaluate a student’s work. It outlines specific criteria, such as content accuracy, structure, creativity, or participation, and defines what constitutes different levels of achievement—from excellent to needs improvement. The rubric helps ensure consistent and transparent grading, so students understand what is expected and how their work will be assessed. Essentially, it’s a roadmap that clarifies how various qualities of an assignment are measured, providing clear standards for both students and educators.
