FAQ
What is an analytic rubric vs a holistic rubric?
An analytic rubric breaks an assignment into separate criteria (e.g. thesis, organization, grammar) with distinct performance scale descriptions, while a holistic rubric assigns a single score based on an overall impression of the entire work.
How do rubrics improve student learning and grading consistency?
Rubrics clarify expectations before assignments begin, minimize subjective grading bias across different graders or timeframes, and provide transparent constructive feedback to students.
Can I export this rubric into Google Classroom, Canvas, or Blackboard LMS?
Yes. You can export the generated rubric as a structured CSV or copy it as Markdown/HTML tables to paste directly into learning management systems or assignment syllabus documents.
Are there limits on how many criteria or performance levels I can add?
No. You can add as many criteria rows as needed, customize the point weights per row, and switch between 3-level and 4-level scoring scales.
