📖 How to Use PickettRubric

1

Choose a Template

Click a Quick Start Template to pre-load common rubric structures, or scroll down to build your own from scratch. Templates include Electronics, Arduino, Design Tech, Science, and Group Projects.

2

Configure Project Details

Set the project title, subject, year group, and total marks. Add an optional description. The total marks auto-calculates from the weights you assign to each criterion.

3

Define Assessment Criteria

Each criterion has a name, weight (marks), and 4 performance levels (Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Needs Improvement). Describe what each level looks like. Click + Add Criterion to add more.

4

Generate & Download

Click ⚡ Generate Rubric PDF. A professional table-format rubric downloads instantly as a PDF. Print it, share with students, or upload to your VLE. Works completely offline!

💡

Tips for Best Rubrics

Use 3-5 criteria for clarity. Make descriptors observable and specific (not "good effort" but "all calculations shown correctly"). Weight criteria to reflect importance. Share rubrics with students BEFORE the project starts.

🎯

Using Rubrics Effectively

Give students the rubric at project launch so they know expectations. Use it during peer assessment and self-assessment. Highlight the level achieved for each criterion when marking. Reference specific descriptors in written feedback.
