How do I use a rubric to grade submissions in SpeedGrader? – Bearface

If you have added a rubric to an assignment, you can view the rubric in SpeedGrader.

If you want to use the rubric to calculate a grade, be sure you have selected the Use this rubric for assignment grading checkbox when adding a rubric to an assignment. Make sure this checkbox is selected before you begin grading submissions.

If you do not select the rubric specifically for grading, you can still use the rubric to evaluate an assignment but the score will not update automatically.

Note: If you do not want to use predetermined rubric criterion, you can grade with free-form comments instead.

Complete Rubric

For each criterion, click the rating that applies to the student's submission [1]. The selected rating displays the rating value in the Points field [2]. If a criterion includes a range, clicking a rating selects the entire range and defaults to the highest value in the range [3]. To select a different value within a range, type the value into the Points (pts) field [4]. Each criterion value adds to the student's total points [5].

You can also add a comment for each rubric criterion by clicking the comment icon [6].

If you set your rubric for grading, the rubric points will be automatically populated in the grade field. Otherwise, you can enter the grade from the rubric manually.
