Grading Student Work With Rubrics

Once you have created a rubric and associated it with an assignment, you can choose whether or not you use it for assignment grading. The rubric will show up in SpeedGrader, regardless of whether you choose to use the rubric for grading; however, if you select the "Use this rubric for assignment grading" checkbox, Canvas will use the grade on the rubric as the student's grade for the assignment.

Note that, when you are in SpeedGrader, you can leave comments for each criterion by clicking on the green speech bubble under the criterion score.
