Build a rubric around the evidence

Start from an editable essay, presentation or project example, or a blank rubric. Give each criterion a name, maximum points and optional achievement levels with descriptions. Select a level to enter its score, or type a score yourself. This is a scoring tool; it does not evaluate student work automatically.

Points totals and weighted criteria

In points mode, 3/4 for one criterion and 2/6 for another produce 5/10, or 50%. With those same criteria weighted equally, the result would be (75% + 33.333…%) ÷ 2 = 54.166…%. Choose the method before using the rubric and communicate it to learners.

Reuse and print your rubric

Save the rubric on this device, duplicate it for another assessment or clear only the scores. The blank-print option omits scores while preserving the criteria and descriptors. Backup export preserves the full editable rubric; CSV provides a compact score summary. Do not enter student names or identifiers.
