Rubrics contrast with Marking Guides, (or which are similar to Grading Forms in Turnitin) - the latter allow allows you to specify a criteria but instead of levels there is only a numeric grade to give.
Below are two examples of a simple rubric. The first is purely qualitative the green cells indicating how the marker assessed the student's performance against each of the criteria set. The second is qualitative in effect showing what proportion of the total marks were ascribed to each criteria, (namely, Criteria 1 = 50%, 2 = 30% and 3 - 20%) and what proportion of those marks were awarded the student based on his/her performance. In this case, the rubrics would calculate a score of 70%.
| Criteria 1 | Weak – blah... | Average – blah... | Good – blah... |
| Criteria 2 | Weak – blah... | Average – blah... | Good – blah... |
| Criteria 3 | Weak – blah... | Average – blah... | Good – blah... |
The second is qualitative that in effect, shows what proportion of the total marks were ascribed to each criteria, (namely, Criteria 1 = 50%, 2 = 30% and 3 = 20%) and what proportion of those marks were awarded the student based on his/her performance. In this case, the rubrics would calculate a score of 70% the maximum possible grade being 100%.
| Criteria 1 | Fail – blah... points 0 | Weak – blah... points 5 | Average – blah... points 10 | Good – blah... points 15 |
| Criteria 2 | Fail – blah... points 0 | Weak – blah... points 3 | Average – blah... points 6 | Good – blah... points 9 |
| Criteria 3 | Fail – blah... points 0 | Weak – blah... points 2 | Average – blah... points 4 | Good – blah... points 6 |
