Archived rubrics are not searchable and can not be used for new associations. Existing associations with archived rubrics remain functional.

You assess each criterion separately, resulting in an overall assessment score. Holistic - Not as detail oriented as analytic. Each level contains multiple criteria for consideration. For example, on a student presentation you would only assign a single score of 1-4 for the overall performance. There is no breakdown of the specific scoring for each element of a presentation. To see how a sample of a holistic rubric and how to create it, view the D2L tutorial on creating holistic rubrics. 5. Set your Initial # of Levels (you can always add more later) This is the number of columns you will have for points or a score (e.g., Level 1 is worth # of points, Level 2 is worth # of points, etc.). 6. Set your Initial # of Criteria. (You can always add more). This is the number of rows you will need for the specifics of what you will be evaluating. For example, a presentation may have criterion like visual looks, oral presentation, content, organization, structure, flow, etc 7. Set your Scoring Method Text Only Your Scoring method is NOT based upon points, rather something like, Good, Not Bad, Pass, Fail, etc Points This assigns a score for the ENTIRE level/column. All criteria within that column receive the same number of points. (This is the most common) Custom Points This allows you to have a variation of points within each column for each criterion.
