Criteria

Three to five criteria work best. Describe what you would actually see at each level, e.g. “all calculations shown with units”, not “good effort”.

Tips for a fair rubric

Three habits that make marking quicker and easier to explain.

🔍

Make it observable

Write what you would see or measure: “resistor value calculated and matches the build”. Two teachers should pick the same level.

📣

Share it early

Give students the rubric when you set the task. Use it for self- and peer-assessment before the final mark.

⚖️

Weight what matters

Put the most marks on the skill the task is really about. Use Scale to total to keep the numbers tidy.
