Scale: 5-point
The generator creates a detailed rubric with categories such as "Use of Evidence," "Critical Thinking," and "Clarity of Argument," each with criteria for mastery levels. Ms. Johnson refines it using the tool’s suggestions, such as simplifying descriptors for better student understanding.
Result:
A polished, professional rubric that sets clear expectations for students and ensures consistent grading.
