Creating a Points Analytic Rubric

 

A points-based analytic rubric means the point values are fixed for each level and criterion. If you want to have different point values for each criterion, you need to create a Custom Points Rubric. An analytic rubric breaks performance into multiple criteria. You assess each criterion separately, resulting in an overall assessment score. 

Before you start creating rubrics within MyCourses, review the information on Writing Effective Rubrics page. It is also important to not create your rubric until you have it mapped out with the levels, criteria, and descriptions written out. Creating your rubric in a Word Document is recommended before attempting to create in MyCourses.


Step-by-Step: 

  1. Click the Edit Course Tab on the Navbar

  2. Click on Rubrics

    Note - Remember that you should have your Rubric mapped out completely before you get to this stage

  3. Click New Rubric

  4. Enter a Name.

  6. From the Rubric Type drop-down list, it is defaulted to Analytic, so no need to changetype analytics.png
  7. Select how many achievement levels you want the rubric to have.  It will default at 4, to add more click on the plus sign to the right or the left of the levels depending on where you would like them added.

    • Enter a description for each level and criterion by clicking in the boxes

    • Enter standard Feedback for each level. Standard feedback appears to users who achieve the level, and it is an easy way to communicate a rubric's evaluation methodologyinitial feedback for each level example.png


  11. Under Overall Score,  give a name for each performance level and a minimum score to achieve for each level.

    NOTE - You will need to figure out the math for this part. For example, if the level is 25 points and you have 4 criteria, the most the student could achieve for that level would be 100 points. You need to decide what the minimum score will be to achieve that level.

  13. Click Close when you are done.
