5. On the Define rubric page, enter a  for the rubric.
6. The rubric starts with one criterion and three levels. To add more, use the  button (on the right) or the  button (at the bottom).
7. Once you have enough criteria and levels, you can click any criterion to change its description. You can also click any level to change its description and point value. Be sure to leave the lowest level for each criterion at zero points or else grades will not calculate properly.
8. When done, click the  button at the bottom of the page.
9. To use the rubric, go to the assignment’s summary page and click  as usual.
10. In the  column for each submission, click the  icon to use the rubric to grade that submission.
