Rubrics: Complete a rubric evaluation
Once you have created a rubric, you will need to attach it to an appropriate assessment.
Rubrics can be attached to the following types of assessments:
- assignment submissions
- grade items
- graded discussions
You cannot make changes to a rubric once you start grading, so make sure to review the rubric for accuracy, then make sure that you change the status of your rubric to 'published' before proceeding.
Find Rubrics in the Course Admin. If it isn't there, review how to enable course tools.
