Mark with a rubric

This article is for teachers.

You can use a rubric to mark and give feedback. You can mark rubrics from the Student work page or the marking tool.

After you start marking, you can't edit or delete the assignment's rubric.

You aren't required to attach rubrics to marked assignments.

For details on how students can check their rubrics, go to Check your work with rubrics.
