Adding a Rubric

  2. Start by adding a name and description; both are required fields.

  3. Determine whether the rubric should be added in Draft or Published status:

    1. Draft: Once added, edits can still be made until the rubric is published. Draft rubrics can be copied and also deleted.

    2. Published: Published rubrics can be used in Juried Assessments. To retain historical data, edits cannot be made to published rubrics; instead, they can be copied, and the copy can then be edited.

  4. Click Add to create a rubric criterion. At least one criterion is required to proceed.

    2. At least two levels are required for each criterion; by default, two levels are available. The name, description, and points are all required fields for each level (1). Additional criterion levels can be added (2) or deleted (3) as needed.

      1. When Add Not Applicable Rubric Criterion Level is enabled, a zero-point criterion level will be added for when scorers need a valid way to mark a criterion as not scorable for a student/artifact, instead of forcing an inaccurate score.

    3. Once the rubric criterion and its levels have been configured, click Save.

Copying a Rubric

Rubrics can be copied and used as templates for new rubrics. Rubrics in both Draft and Published status can be copied, and a copy is a complete recreation of the selected rubric, including its status; for example, if a rubric in Draft status is copied, the copy will be created in Draft status. Rubrics are generally copied (rather than starting from scratch) to preserve structure and consistency, and only administer changes to the copy. Some reasons to copy a rubric include:

Same Structure, Different Context: Running a new Juried Assessment for a different term or course, but the rubric layout and criteria remain mostly the same.

Save Setup Time: Copying preserves the existing criteria, performance levels, point values, and ordering, reducing manual creation and mismatches in level wording or points.

Maintain Historical Usage: When meaningful edits are necessary (new criteria, reworded levels, point changes), it’s often better to copy and modify the copy so previous assessments remain tied to the original rubric design and language.

  1. To copy a Juried Assessment rubric, navigate to Main Menu > Assessment > Juried Assessment Rubrics and select Copy from the expanded Action menu for a rubric.

    1. A name for the new rubic will be automatically generated as the name of the copied rubic appended with ‘Copy’ (1). The auto-generated name can be edited until the rubric is published; once published, changes cannot be made to the rubric name. For reference, the rubric selected for copy is provided (2).
      💡 Product Tip: If the rubric being copied is in Published status, the copy will also be created in Published status and the name cannot be changed.

    2. After reviewing and confirming the name, click Copy Rubric.
