A rubric is a tool used for assessment that outlines specific criteria and standards for evaluating a task or performance. It provides clear guidelines for both instructors and students, detailing what is expected for different levels of achievement. Rubrics can be used in various contexts, such as grading essays, projects, or presentations.
Typically, a rubric includes categories that describe different aspects of the work, such as content, organization, and grammar. Each category is assigned a scale, often ranging from excellent to poor, allowing for a more objective evaluation. This helps ensure consistency and fairness in grading.
