Rubric/Points Questions

Rubric/Points Questions are scored by the teacher after student responses have been scanned or submitted online. Teachers have the option to use a rubric scale with a multiplier or to assign specific points. This question type is great for performance-based skills and activities. Use teacher feedback to provide specific information to students about the scoring.

Note: When assigning online, any Rubric/Points questions will display the message “Teacher will assign points”. No student responses are entered using this question type, but teachers can assign a score based on an in-class activity or score for a task completed in another program.

Select a Scoring Method

Using a Rubric Scale

When using a rubric scale for scoring, a scale of 0-9 is set, and a multiplier may be used. After collecting responses, teachers will score by selecting the bubble to assign a score for each student's response.

1. After selecting Using a Rubric Scale, set the scale to be used (0-9).

2. Optional: Adjust the multiplier. For example, if the scale is 01234 and the multiplier is 0.5. If 3 is selected, a score of 1.5 will be assigned.

Assigning Specific Points

When using specific points, a max score is set. When entering points after collecting responses, teachers may type in a value, including partial points, such as 3.5 points, or points above the max value (calculated as extra credit beyond the assigned max value).
