What is a Grading Form?
Grading forms give you the ability to provide free-form feedback and scores to your students for a set of criteria; the tutor types in feedback and (optionally) a numeric mark for each. Grading Form feedback can be individualised and discretionary.
Rubrics, on the other hand are a matrix of criteria mapped to levels of achievement. Each matrix cell contains a description of the level of achievement and (optionally) a numeric mark attached; the marker selects the level to which a student has met each criterion and can optionally give further comments for each. If numeric marks are used the Rubric will calculate a total grade (though this can be overridden). Rubric can be more standardised and therefore more obviously transparent about numeric grades (if used). Since Rubric feedback is granular and pre-prepared, Rubrics may be quicker for markers, which can help with large cohorts.
