What is a rubric?
A rubric is a method of evaluating student work by establishing
a set of guidelines that a project is based on/graded by. "Rubrics
answer the questions: By what criteria should performance be judged?
Where should we look and what should we look for to judge
performance success? What does the range in the quality of
performance look like? How do we determine validly, reliably, and
fairly what score should given and what that score means? How should
the different levels of quality be described and distinguished from
one another?" (2000

Rubrics make grading difficult
assignments easier, because you have established guidelines.
Students can decide what grade they want to achieve and follow the
criteria for that grade -- it eliminates grading questions from the
student and educator.
