Scope and Use

This guide applies to assessment of the specified assignment for all students enrolled in the course and is the authoritative basis for conversion of raw scores to grades. Assessors must apply the descriptors and weights below without ad hoc modification. Requests for modification must be submitted in writing to the department prior to use in a graded assessment.

Scoring Categories and Criteria

The rubric is organized into discrete categories. Enter the weight and maximum points for each category. For each performance level provide a clear, observable descriptor that will be used to justify assigned scores.

Scoring Procedures and Calculation

For each student, assign a numeric score within the maximum points for each category. Multiply category score by the category weight (as a decimal) to obtain weighted points. Sum weighted points across categories to obtain the final score for the assignment.

Rater Protocols and Reliability

Use consistent rater training and calibration prior to scoring. For multi-rater assessments, record independent rater scores and follow the disagreement resolution process below.

Academic Integrity and Non-Discrimination

Scores assigned under this guide must reflect student performance only. Assessors must not consider student identity, disability status, or other protected characteristics. Any suspected academic integrity violation discovered during scoring must be reported in accordance with institutional policy and not resolved solely through score adjustment.

Recordkeeping and Access

Maintain complete scoring records, including raw scores, weighted calculations, rater notes, and any calibration records for the period required by institutional policy. Students may request score explanation in writing; provide rubric-aligned justification within 15 business days of request.
