TILLING THE SOIL

A Rubric is an assessment tool for communicating expectations of quality.

Rubrics are a way to set up custom or outcome-based assessment criteria for scoring.

Rows are used to define the various criteria being used to assess an assignment.

Columns are used to define levels of performance for each criterion.
