For grading some activities, you may find you want to use the Canvas Rubrics tool to both quicken your ability to give students feedback, as well as communicate clear expectations to students.
Be sure to enter criterion to rubrics in the proper order, as they cannot be reordered after they are added to a rubric.
The Rubrics button in Course Navigation is only meant for instructors and not available for students. Students will only see rubrics in Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes to which they have been attached.
