Want to make your evaluations clearer and more fair? Redmenta Rubrics can help you with that! Find out how in the article below!
What Are Rubrics and Why Should You Use Them?
A rubric is an assessment tool that outlines and evaluates the specific criteria and expectations for an assignment in a table format. It includes both the evaluation criteria and descriptions of the different levels that a student can achieve.
Rubrics are your secret weapon for creating fair, clear, and consistent assessments. They help you communicate exactly what you expect from your students and give them the tools to understand how their work will be evaluated.
How to Set Up Rubrics on Redmenta
Creating and using rubrics in Redmenta is super easy! There are three ways to create one:
-
- Manually: If you like to create things from scratch, you can define your criteria and performance levels yourself. Decide what areas you want to assess (e.g., clarity, creativity, accuracy) and how you want to grade them.
- Upload a File: If you already have a rubric ready, you can simply upload it into Redmenta.
- AI Assistant: Want to save time? Let our AI assistant help you! It will guide you through the process and create a rubric for you based on your specific needs. Super fast and easy!
Follow these steps to get started:
Go to the Edit Menu of a worksheet on the Evaluate page. Then click Evaluation settings where you can add Rubrics evaluation. You will see a default rubric, but you can fully customize it, including adjusting the number of levels and criteria. You can edit and complete all sections of the rubric by clicking on the relevant parts.
Define the areas you want to evaluate in the Criteria column (e.g., spelling, content depth, presentation, etc.).
By default, all criteria have the same weight. You can change the percentages if needed (e.g., when a criterion counts more or less in the final result).
Columns with numbers represent the levels of performance. Provide a detailed description for each level related to the given criterion (e.g., level 1 in Vocabulary could be: "The vocabulary is very limited, with frequent errors and repetition of simple words." This way, students will know exactly what they need to do to achieve each level.
The rubric is saved once all cells are completed.
You can also upload an existing rubrics file by clicking on the Upload a file button.
You can also generate one with AI by clicking Generate. On the Rubrics Generator page click Start chat to create your rubrics.
After your rubrics has generated, you can still make changes to it by writing suggestions to the AI Assistant.
When you're happy with the results, you can either download the rubrics, or add it to an existing worksheet:
After the table has been added to your worksheet, you can still make any changes you want, as you always have the last word.
Your students can also see the rubric at the beginning of the test and they can see all the criteria you have provided.
When the worksheet has been submitted by the student, you can either evaluate their test manually by clicking the circles in the rubrics ask the AI to evaluate it for you by clicking AI Evaluator.
