Add a Rubric to a Discussion

You can add a rubric to a graded discussion to help students understand expectations for the discussion and how you intend to score their replies. Occasionally, rubrics are added to discussions when you have an outcome inside of the rubric that you would like to use for alignment purposes. In addition to graded discussions, rubrics can also be added to assignments and quizzes.

Rubrics can be added by finding an existing rubric in one of your courses, or by creating a new rubric.

Note: When the Enhanced Rubrics feature option is enabled, discussions use the enhanced rubric experience instead of the classic rubric interface. If your rubric interface looks different, the Enhanced Rubrics feature option may not be enabled for your course.
