There are two rubric types that the School of Education staff could use for their assignment:

  • Point-based rubric: criteria have equal weighting
  • Percentage-based rubric: criteria have different weighting

Example of a point-based rubric

Example of a percentage-based rubric

Two steps are involved when creating a Turnitin rubric:

  • Create a Turnitin submission link
  • Create a rubric and attach it to the submission link

Step 1: Create a Turnitin assignment submission link

Refer to the Create a Turnitin assignment submission guide for step-by-step instructions.

Step 2: Create a rubric

Note: You should have all the rubric content in a Word document or PDF to upload to the relevant Assessment folder in Learn.UQ for students.

  1. Click on the relevant Turnitin submission link.

  1. Click on the cog button to access the submission link settings.

  1. Click on the Optional Settings button.

  1. Check the box Attach a rubric.
  2. Click on the Launch Rubric Manager button.

  1. Click on the menu icon.
  2. Select the Create new rubric option.

  1. The default rubric type is a percentage-based rubric (the % icon). If you create a score-based rubric, select the pen-on-note icon.

  1. Enter the rubric name in the Name textbox. Tip: use abbreviated/shorter name due to space limit.
  2. Use the plus icon to add more rows (criteria) and columns (scales).

Use the bin icon to delete the unwanted criteria/scales.

 

  1. Copy and paste the rubric content to the template.
    For percentage-based rubric, make sure:
  • Each criterion has a percentage.
  • All criteria add up to 100%
  • Use a short name for each criterion and add a more detailed description underneath the name.
  • Scale the percentage for each level of performance (Refer to the example notes).
  • Add a descriptor to each grid.

For point-based rubric, enter the relevant mark on each grid.

  1. Click on the Save button.

  1. Click on the cross button to close the rubric manager. The submission link setting page will be displayed again.

  1. Click on the down arrow on the No rubric box.

  1. Select the rubric you created (usually the last in the list).

  1. Click on the Submit button.

Note: Once you have created the Turnitin assignment submission link with the rubric, you can test the rubric.
