Rubrics provide an efficient way to deliver feedback and clarify grading rationale. A well-constructed rubric offers detailed insights for each score and allows targeted feedback in Canvas, promoting student understanding and a growth mindset. They streamline grading for instructors, ensuring fairness and consistency. Rubrics also empower students to self-assess, identify strengths, and recognize areas for improvement, fostering a transparent and supportive learning environment that encourages continuous progress.
