Assignments & Rubrics
Consider
Should I use a rubric?
- Should students see rubric descriptions?
- Should students see rubric score range?
- Should students see rubric after grading?
Should I use SafeAssign?
- Should students see the originality report?
- Should submissions be excluded from the Institutional or Global Reference Databases? (common for draft assignments)
