Rubrics in Canvas

Integrating rubrics into your Canvas courses is a game-changer for both you and your students for the following reasons:

• Clarity and Expectations: Rubrics makes it easy to set clear expectations and grading criteria right from the start. 
• Transparency: Students know exactly what they need to do, which helps reduce their anxiety.
• Efficiency: Rubrics save you time and keep your grading consistent.
• Feedback: Rubrics allow you to give constructive feedback to help students improve.
• Students love them: Students love rubrics because they feel less lost and more confident about what’s expected of them.

It's a win-win for everyone! Thank you to faculty member and CDI alum Professor Maya Ginsberg for the Rubric example, above.
