    Create Rubric (YouTube 5m 8s)

    A Rubric is needed to mark the Assessment#4 - Research Presentation. A column is needed to record the marks.

    Policy: 

    • Criteria and standards must sufficiently distinguish students’ performance over a range of levels. The numeric descriptors listed in Table A, Appendix 7.1 provide university-wide standards for awarding final grades. Course Coordinators may develop criteria and standards for specific assessment tasks aligned with the generic descriptors. 
    • Assessment criteria and standards for each assessment task must be made available to students at the same time as the description and timing of the assessment task.

    For further information, refer to section 3.1.2 and 3.2.1 of the Assessement policy and procedure.
