A Rubric is a set of criteria used to evaluate learner performance, particularly for assessments or assignments that require subjective judgment. Rubrics provide clear expectations for learners and help instructors or managers consistently assess outcomes. Rubrics typically include: – Defined scoring levels and performance descriptors – Alignment with learning objectives and competencies – Integration with instructor-reviewed assignments or activities – Feedback mechanisms for learners – Supporting transparent and fair evaluation. Using rubrics improves assessment consistency, provides actionable feedback, and helps learners understand how performance is measured.
