Marking with Rubrics

Key information

Rubric scorecards can be used to evaluate student work against defined criteria (learning outcomes) and scales.

The use of rubrics can aid consistency of practice between markers, and provide greater transparency to learners as to how their mark was arrived at – and how they could do better in future.

Rubrics are presented as a matrix or a sliding scale in the marking screen.
