Education rubric overview
Rubrics are an effective and widely used way of grading assignments, and the education API in Microsoft Graph supports them.
A grading rubric is a matrix of qualities, levels, and criteria, as follows:
| Level | Level | |
|---|---|---|
| Quality | Criterion | Criterion |
| Quality | Criterion | Criterion |
An example of a grading rubric might be:
| Good | Poor | |
|---|---|---|
| Argument | The essay's argument is persuasive. | The essay's argument doesn't make sense. |
| Spelling and grammar | The essay uses proper spelling and grammar with few or no errors. | The essay has numerous errors in spelling and/or grammar. |
Grading using a rubric involves selecting one level for each quality in the rubric.
A rubric may have points associated with each level, and a weight associated with each quality. If present, weights must add up to 100.
| Good (2 points) | Poor (1 point) | |
|---|---|---|
| Argument (weight 50) | The essay's argument is persuasive. | The essay's argument doesn't make sense. |
| Spelling and grammar (weight 50) | The essay uses proper spelling and grammar with few or no errors. | The essay has numerous errors in spelling and/or grammar. |
