Rubrics are advanced grading forms that are useful for ensuring consistent grading practices, especially when grading as a team. Rubrics consist of a set of criteria and an evaluation scale with levels corresponding to point values.
| Info |
|---|
The raw rubric score is calculated as a sum of all criteria grades. The final grade is calculated by comparing the actual score with the worst/best possible score. For more on calculating grades, see Grade Calculation in Moodle. |
Moodle lets you create a new grading form or make a copy of any rubric you already have in any of your Moodle courses.
...
Unlike a Rubric, a Grading guide does not let you rank each criterion according to more than one level; rather, each criterion has one comment box, and one box for entering a numeric score.
| Info |

Assignments and Worskhops directly use Rubrics or Grading guides. (Rubrics in Moodle are different from Turnitin Rubrics in Moodle.) To grade other activity types with a rubric, you can set up a separate assignment just for marking. For example, you could set up an ungraded Wiki activity called "Unit One Wiki", and a graded assignment called "Rubric for Unit One Wiki." |
