Two common ways of using a rubric are described below:
| Holistic Rubrics | Analytic Rubrics |
|---|---|
|
Teachers give one score for the task and one score for each student. Using a rubric in this way may make it quicker to score than an analytic rubric. Teachers can quickly get a general read on how the class is doing. |
Teachers give one score per criteria. Students get multiple scores for one assessment task. Using a rubric in this way allows teachers to more carefully pinpoint a student’s strengths and weaknesses and to provide more specific feedback to students. |
