An example of Ranged Rubric criteria in Assignment activity

 

Overview:

This guide shows you how to create Ranged Rubric criteria in Assignment activity. 

 

What to know:

The rubric feature affords a teacher the ability to provide grades and feedback in an alternative manner to simple grading.

 

 

Click the ’Turn editing on’ button displayed near the upper right of the module area/course.

 

 

1. When editing mode is turned on, navigate to the section where you want to add the assignment activity.
2. Next, click the ’Add an activity or resource’ button displayed at the bottom of the section.

From the pop-up activity chooser window, locate and select The Assignment activity,  then click the ’Add’ button.

 

 

Now you come to the assignment creation page.

1. Please complete 'assignment name' and 'description'.
2. Then click 'save and return to module' at the bottom of the page to save the settings

 

You’ll now go to the settings area within this area. Scroll down to the ‘Grade’ section, then from the ‘Grading Method’ drop-down menu, please choose 'Rubric', then 'Save changes'. 

 

 

Now you are taken to a screen where you can choose the grading method either by using a template or creating a grading form from scratch. Alternatively you have the option of even changing the grading method.

 

You will have to name your Ranged Rubric, much in the same manner as you named the Assignment activity initially.

 

1. Provide a name for the Ranged Rubric Criteria.
2. Add criteria descriptions and points, also add level, delete, move, and duplicate 

 

Once you have completed your rubric, go down to the 'rubric options', decide which ones are applicable for your needs, then save the rubric and make it ready.

Note: it's advisable that you leave the 'Calculate grade having a minimum score of the minimum achievable grade for the rubric' ticked, as unticking this option could affect your rubric in a significant and often negative manner.

 

Here is an example of the Ranged rubric. 

Note: when you are grading with your rubric you are obliged to select a rubric item from each criteria, none can be omitted, therefore if you believe that a student has not met an of expectation please factor this in to you rubric items/descriptions when you are designing it ie. creating a description with 'not met' and applying a '0' grade for that item.
