Understand and View Assignment Rubrics in Canvas

Your instructor may include a rubric as part of your assignment. The Rubric is a set of criteria that your instructor will use to grade your assignment. Before submitting your assignment, you can use the Rubric to evaluate your own work and make sure your assignment fulfills your instructor's requirements. 

You can view rubric results for a graded assignment in the Grades page or from the assignment details page.

Note: Depending on how your instructor set up the rubric, it may or may not include point values. If the rubric does not include point values your instructor may still use it to provide feedback on your assignment. 

The Writing Prompt Rubric displays criteria including Follows Instructions, Correct Length, Grammar, and Writing Prompt Outcome with subpoints, each rated on scales from 0.0 to 5.0 points across Full Marks, Meets Expectations, and No Marks, totaling 30.0 possible points.
  • Criterion may include a description [1]. 

  • The rubric may also include an outcome associated with the course [2]. Outcomes are identified by a small flag and are used to assess learning mastery in a course. The outcome also shows the threshold for the outcome, or the number of points you must achieve to meet expectations. Your instructor may allow you to view outcomes results in your course grades. 

The Writing Prompt Rubric table outlines criteria such as Follows Instructions, Correct Length, Grammar, and Writing Prompt Outcome (with subpoints like complete sentences and demonstrating understanding), each scored from 0.0 to 5.0 points across rating levels, for a total of 30.0 possible points.
