In education, a rubric is a scoring guide used to evaluate the quality of a student's constructed responses, serving in simpler terms as a set of criteria for grading assignments. Typically presented in table format, a rubric contains evaluative criteria, quality definitions for various levels of achievement, and a scoring strategy, and it plays a dual role, helping teachers mark assignments consistently while also helping students plan their own work against the same stated criteria.
