Creating rubrics

Rubrics are an extremely helpful assessment tool that serve to clarify expectations for students before an activity and to provide clear, consistent feedback for students once an activity is completed. The Rubrics feature of Canvas makes it easy to create a customized rubric with your own criteria or to utilize the outcomes you've already created to quickly set up a new rubric. The rubrics you can create utilizing outcomes display the outcome followed by a grid containing the criterion ratings you created to rate students' performances. Using a rubric to assess a student's work, you will select the criterion rating that best describes the work they completed to meet the desired outcome. Based on the criterion ratings you choose and the point values associated with these ratings, Canvas determines the student's score based on the point value attained for each outcome.
