Ultra Course - Rubrics
A rubric functions as a scoring tool that helps evaluate and clearly defines the various aspects and criteria expected in an assignment. Rubrics are incredibly versatile and come in handy for assessing a wide range of tasks, such as research papers, group projects, portfolios, or presentations. This page serves to provide information regarding creating rubrics in the Ultra gradebook, associating rubrics to specific assignments, and grading student submissions with the associated rubric.
