A rubric is a scoring guide used to evaluate performance, a product, or a project. It has three parts: 1) performance criteria; 2) rating scale; and 3) indicators. For you and your students, the rubric defines what is expected and what will be assessed.
Criteria: A good rubric must have a list of specific criteria to be rated. These should be uni-dimensional, so students and raters know exactly what the expectations are. … The more specificity used, the easier it is for raters to assign a score and the easier it is for students to verify and understand their scores.
Checklists, rating scales and rubrics are tools that state specific criteria and allow teachers and students to gather information and to make judgements about what students know and can do in relation to the outcomes. They offer systematic ways of collecting data about specific behaviours, knowledge and skills.
Rubrics describe the features expected for student work to receive each of the levels/scores on the chosen scale. An assessment rubric tells us what is important, defines what work meets a standard, and allows us to distinguish between different levels of performance.

1 A Checklist Is Not a Rubric
For example, before submitting a research report for grading, a student can refer to a list of components the teacher needs in the final project, such as Title Page, Report, Maps or Tables and Bibliography. Further, the teacher may use a checklist to clarify expectations.
A holistic rubric consists of a single scale with all criteria to be included in the evaluation being considered together (e.g., clarity, organization, and mechanics). With a holistic rubric the rater assigns a single score (usually on a 1 to 4 or 1 to 6 point scale) based on an overall judgment of the student work.
If you have a 4-‐point scale (4 being best) and 4 criteria then the highest score, or 100% is 16; the lowest score is 4 or 64%. I decided that all “1”s would equal 64% -‐ a D grade. I then decided that all 3s, as proficient should be a high B so I chose 87%, all 2s should be 75% and all 1s would be 64%.
A rubric is an assessment tool that lists the criteria for a piece of work. It lists the things that students, either as individuals or groups, must do or include to receive a certain rating.
A rubric is an assessment tool that clearly indicates achievement criteria across all the components of any kind of student work, from written to oral to visual. It can be used for marking assignments, class participation, or overall grades.
Rubrics are an assessment tool for communicating expectations of quality. They include the criteria that will be evaluated, describe various levels of quality, and are typically linked to learning targets. Rubrics are used to communicate about and assess complex products, performances, or process tasks.

Instead of a traditional rubric, generally ranging from one to four, the single-point rubric has a single point demonstrating whether or not the student “meets” mastery for each objective. Anything that is not considered “meets” indicates that the student has “not yet” met mastery of the learning objective.

Rubrics articulate levels of performance in relation to standards or other expectations. Unlike scoring guides, which describe how students earn points or credit for their answers, rubrics assign students ratings based on how well their response meets performance levels.
What do we mean by marking criteria and rubrics? Marking criteria are essentially your standards of judgement for the assignment you have set. Marking or scoring rubrics are a guide to marking against those standards of judgement.
A rubric is a grading guide that makes explicit the criteria for judging students’ work on discussion, a paper, performance, product, show-the-work problem, portfolio, presentation, essay question—any student work you seek to evaluate. Rubrics inform students of expectations while they are learning.
