A rubric serves as an evaluation tool that allows you to break down the assigned work into distinct parts. You can give explicit explanations of the characteristics of the work related to each part, at various levels of proficiency. By having access to a rubric, students can streamline their efforts to fulfill the requirements of the graded work. Providing students with rubrics in advance offers visibility into your grading methods and ensures transparency in the evaluation process.<\/p>\n<p>In your course, it&#8217;s possible to create multiple rubrics. These rubrics are made up of rows and columns. The rows represent the criteria, while the columns describe the level of achievement for each criterion. There are four types of rubrics that you can create: percentage, percentage range, points, and points range. By default, new rubrics have four rows and four columns. However, you have the option to add up to 15 columns and rows. You can also remove all but one row and one column. Additionally, it&#8217;s possible to associate rubrics with assignments and discussions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/help.blackboard.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/2019-10\/ultra_rubric_example_instructor.png\" alt=\"Rubrics are rows and columns that help you evaluate graded work.
