Frequently Asked Questions

Which rubric style should I pick?

Analytic is the default and most flexible — criteria on the rows, performance levels on the columns, a descriptor in every cell. Holistic is one descriptor per level of the whole work. Single-point has one Target column with left/right gutters for personalized feedback — teachers love it for revision cycles. IB MYP uses the official criterion strands A–D with 0–8 achievement bands.

Do I have to use point values?

No. Point values are a toggle. Descriptive-only rubrics work for formative work and for standards-based grading. Turn points on if you need weighted percentages that sum to 100% and integer per-level scores.

Can the AI grade student work with this rubric?

No — this is a rubric authoring tool, not a grading tool. Grading student work with AI is on our roadmap as a separate feature.

What is a single-point rubric?

A single-point rubric has one column describing what proficient work looks like for each criterion, plus two gutters — "Areas of Concern" and "Advanced" — where you write personalized feedback based on the specific student's work. Cuts grading time and gives more useful feedback for revision-focused assignments.

Can I generate a student-friendly version at the same time?

Yes. Toggle "Student-facing version" and the AI generates a second rubric using second-person voice ("You clearly state your claim…") with plain-language descriptors at the target grade band. Same criteria, same structure — students self-assess against the same targets.
