How to set criteria

1. Click Criteria in the menu on the left.
2. Click on the question and choose the grading method by clicking on the drop-down menu.
   • Points: when grading with points, each criterion is worth a set amount of points. The total points that can be earned from the question are the sum of the points of all criteria.
     1. Click Add points.
     2. Write a description and set the number of points. 
     3. Click Save.
   • Rubrics: when grading with rubrics, a qualitative review is given. When we want to use rubrics in assessment, a question is often a ject on which you want to grade. This can be on the content, writing style etc. In each of these jects, multiple questions can be added, these actually are jects within a ject; so in the case of the image below, 'Global structure' is a ject of the ject 'Structure'. First a weight for the ject has to be given. The points for each of the rubrics are multiplied with this weight to get to the total points for this ject. The maximum amount of points that can be given for the ject 'Global structure' is 10 points with a weight of 1.0 as seen in the image. In each of the questions multiple rubrics can be added by clicking 'add rubrics'. Rubrics are a way to score the criteria. A rubric can be for example 10 points and called 'Expert', 7.5 points and called 'Intermediate' and so on. To every rubric a description can be added, so the reviewer will know when to give a report a certain amount of points on each ject.
