What is a rubric and why should I use one?
A rubric is a tool that outlines and evaluates specific criteria and expectations for an assignment in a table format. It includes descriptions of the assessment criteria and the different levels at which students can achieve them.

Rubrics are your secret weapon for creating fair, clear, and consistent assessments. They communicate exactly what is expected of students and give them a tool to understand how their work will be assessed.
How to set up a rubric in Redmenta
Creating and using rubrics in Redmenta is very easy! There are three ways to create a rubric:
Manually: If you prefer to build it from scratch, you can define your own criteria and performance levels. Decide what areas you want to evaluate (e.g. clarity, creativity, accuracy) and how you want to evaluate them.
File Upload: If you already have a rubric prepared, you can simply upload it to Redmenta.
AI Assistant: Want to save time? Get help from our AI Assistant! We’ll guide you through the process of creating a rubric tailored to your specific needs. It’s quick and easy!

To get started, follow these steps:
1.
On the assessment page of the worksheet, go to the Edit menu. Then click on 'Assessment Settings' to add a 'Rubric Assessment'. A default rubric is shown, but you can fully customize it, such as adjusting the number of levels and criteria. You can edit and complete all sections of the rubric by clicking on the relevant part.
2.
In the 'Criteria' column, define the areas you want to evaluate (e.g. spelling, content depth, presentation, etc.).
3.
By default, all criteria have equal weighting. You can change the percentages if necessary (e.g. if a certain criterion counts more or less in the final result).
4.
The columns with numbers represent performance levels. Provide detailed descriptions of each level relative to the given criterion (e.g., Level 1 for vocabulary might be "Vocabulary is very limited, frequent errors, and repetition of simple words."). This way, students know exactly what they need to do to achieve each level.
5.
Once all cells are completed, the rubric is saved.
You can also upload an existing rubric file by clicking the 'Upload File' button.
You can also create a rubric with AI by clicking the 'Generate' button. You can create a rubric by clicking 'Start Chat' on the rubric generator page.
Even after a rubric is created, you can make changes by writing suggestions to the AI assistant.
Once you're happy with the results, you can download the rubric or add it to an existing worksheet.
You can still change the table as you wish after it has been added to your worksheet. The final decision is always yours.
Students can also view the rubric at the beginning of the test and see all criteria provided.
When a student submits a worksheet, you can manually grade the test by clicking on the circle in the rubric, or you can click the 'AI Grader' button to have the AI grade it for you.
