The purpose of using a rubric is to focus students' attention on critical components of an assignment and to help the instructor maintain consistency when grading. Using a rubric is especially important if there are teaching assistants involved in the grading process or if students are completing peer reviews. You can create one or more rubrics in Canvas. You can create a rubric on the Assignment page or on the Manage Rubrics page. The Manage Rubrics page lists all of the rubrics in the course, while an assignment page displays only the rubric for that assignment. This topic explains it from the Manage Rubrics, but the process is the same on either page.
On the Course Navigation menu, click Rubrics
Click + Add Rubric
