Instructions for Creating a Comprehensive Rubric File

To create a Rubric file that effectively evaluates assignments, please create a Rubric file in excel format containing following columns:

• Column 1: Grading Criteria:   List all the criteria you will use to assess the assignments. This includes each specific aspect or requirement that will be evaluated.

• Column 2: Best Performance Level Description : Provide a detailed description of what constitutes the highest level of performance for each criterion. This should clearly explain what an outstanding or excellent submission looks like.

• Column 3: Score for Best Performance Level : Assign a numerical score to the best performance level for each criterion. This score reflects the highest possible marks a student can achieve for excelling in that particular aspect.

• Column 4: Average Performance Level Description: Describe what constitutes an average level of performance for each criterion. This should explain what a satisfactory or acceptable submission looks like.

• Column 5: Score for Average Performance Level: Assign a numerical score to the average performance level for each criterion. This score reflects the marks a student can achieve for meeting the basic requirements of that particular aspect.

• Column 6: Low Performance Level Description: Provide a description of what constitutes a low level of performance for each criterion. This should explain what an inadequate or poor submission looks like.

• Column 7: Score for Low Performance Level: Assign a numerical score to the low performance level for each criterion. This score reflects the marks a student can achieve for failing to meet the basic requirements of that particular aspect.​

File Format:  Ensure the Rubric file is saved in CSV  or XLSX format.
