RESOURCE: Grading Discussions with Rubrics when Graded Checkpoints are Present

Using a Rubric for Discussion Grading helps streamline the grading process and ensure assignment requirements are met. By reviewing and applying the rubric when evaluating discussion posts, instructors can more easily assign points for required elements, such as student replies. While the rubric helps guide grading, instructors may still need to manually enter the appropriate points in the gradebook to complete the evaluation.
