Auto Comment Instant Rubric : Five Criteria Version

Instant Comment Two Criteria Auto Rubric

First and foremost, this is an unbelievable time saver! As an educator, I often find myself giving similar feedback based on the rubric I provide my students.  For example, a satisfactory result on “presentation” in a personal essay, often has stylistically adequate choices but word choice could be stronger.  Wouldn’t it be great if you could automatically include this feedback simply by assigning a grade to each criterion in the rubric? That is exactly what this excel file does!  The file included comes completely setup for assessing a critical essay with five criteria. (Ideas and Impressions, Supporting Evidence, Form and Structure, Matters of Choice, and Matters of Correctness)

How do you use it?  Simply enter the individual mark for each criteria and the comment is instantly placed below the rubric as well as all calculations.  I then copy and paste this into whatever marks program I am using as an ‘assignment comment’. (although you could easily copy it to any place that the student has access to such as D2L)  

Here are the features:

• Automatically place specific comments below the rubric based on the mark entered into a criteria
• Automatically adds each rubric together and takes into account individual weightings
• Calculates a total raw score as well as a percentage
• Comments can be customized and individualized for personal use!
• Criteria can be renamed and adapted to personal needs.
