Defining an analytic rubric achievement levels and criteria
Enter a Criterion Name and a description (if desired) for each criterion by clicking on the text-box.
If desired, rename the Levels by clicking on the text box.
If using a rubric that uses a Points or Custom Points scoring method, enter the score (points) for each level. When using the Points scoring method, the levels for all criteria will have the same score (points). For custom points, you may enter a different score (points) for each criterion.
Enter a Description of what is required to achieve the level for each criterion. Achievement level descriptions help evaluators determine which level best reflects a user's achievement. The more detailed your descriptions are, the more consistent evaluations will be. You can use the HTML editor to format the description.
Enter any standard Initial Feedback that you want to be communicated to users who achieve the level for each criterion. Standard feedback is an easy way to communicate a rubric's evaluation methodology to the people being evaluated and to help prepare them for future rubric evaluations.
The Overall Score section totals the scores earned on each level for each criterion. You can add, delete, and rename the levels as well as edit the minimum score for each achievement level. It is recommended that zero is entered as the minimum score for the lowest level of achievement. Optionally, you can add a description for each overall level of achievement.
