Using a Rubric to grade in Speedgrader
Greetings!
This may be a refresher or something new, either way I’m sure you will pick up a tip if you review the information below from the Canvas website on using a rubric in speedgrader to grade student assignments. Note that rubrics are included FOR MOST ASSIGNMENTS. If you run across and assignment that doesn’t have a rubric, please email curriculum@belhaven.edu.
If you have added a rubric to an assignment, you can assess the rubric in SpeedGrader.
Use Rubric for Grading
If you want to use the rubric to calculate a grade, be sure you have selected the Use this rubric for assignment grading checkbox when adding a rubric to an assignmentLinks to an external site.. Make sure this checkbox is selected before you begin grading submissions.
If you do not select the rubric specifically for grading, you can still use the rubric to evaluate an assignment but the score will not update automatically.
Outcomes Extra Credit
If your rubric includes outcomes, you may be able to assign extra points for the outcome criterion if this feature is enabled for your course. Learn how to manage feature options in the course features lessonLinks to an external site..
Notes:
- If your rubric does not contain any predetermined rubric criteria, you should grade the rubric using free-form commentsLinks to an external site..
- If your rubric does not contain any point values, you should grade the rubric as a non-scoring rubricLinks to an external site..

Complete Rubric
For each criterion, click the rating that applies to the student’s submission [1]. The selected rating displays the rating value in the Points field [2]. If a criterion includes a range, clicking a rating selects the entire range and defaults to the highest value in the range [3].
To select a different value within a range, type the value into the Points (pts) field [4]. You can manually enter points above the criterion maximum point value. Each criterion value adds to the student’s total points [5].
To deselect a rating and revert the point value assigned, click the rating assigned [6].
Outcomes may also be able to support additional points. If additional points on outcomes are not retained after the rubric is saved, this feature has not been enabled for your course.
You can also add a comment for each rubric criterion by clicking the Comment icon [7].
Save Rubric
Click the Save button.

If you set your rubric for grading, the rubric points will be automatically populated in the grade field. Otherwise, you can enter the grade from the rubric manually.
