Grading Discussions with Rubrics
Grading Discussions with Rubrics
One best practice for grading discussions is using a rubric. By using a rubric to grade discussions, an instructor can help students understand what makes a good discussion post by providing clear expectations. Learn how to create new rubrics later in this training course.
Adding a Previously Created Rubric to your Discussion
STEP 1: After you have created your Discussion and saved it, click on the 3 buttons on the right.
STEP 2: Click on Add Rubric.
STEP 3: Rubrics are organized by Course. Find the correct course and Rubric and click Use this Rubric to attach it to your Discussion.
The Rubric will now be available in Speedgrader and the students will also be able to see it in the Assignment.
