Rubric

A rubric is a grading tool that specifically tells the students what is expected of their project. A rubric is used to clearly inform the students what is expected of them. The rubric makes the teachers grading easier. The students can't really argue about the way the material is graded because they knew exactly who it was going to be graded.
