Rubrics
In Blackboard, a Feedback Rubric is a tool that displays the assessment criteria for an assignment. Feedback Rubrics can help students understand what is expected to meet the requirements of an assignment and can be used by instructors as a marking tool to demonstrate to students how they met each criterion. Feedback Rubrics can also ensure that marking is consistent and impartial. In other words, Feedback Rubrics can be described as interactive marking grids.
