Viewing and Understanding Rubric Scores

If the instructor used a rubric to grade your assignment, the detailed feedback provided can be viewed. After clicking on the grade as described above, the submitted assignment and a panel on the right side with the feedback and the rubric grade appear. 

The rubric shows:

  • The criteria used to evaluate the work.
  • The performance levels for each criterion (e.g., Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor).
  • The points or percentage associated with each performance level.
  • Any specific feedback from the instructor on each criterion.

Some instructors may also provide overall feedback on your assignment. This feedback may be located:

  • In a separate "Feedback" section.
  • As an annotation directly on the submitted file, if the instructor used inline grading.
