    Frequently asked questions

    What is a rubric?

    Which rubric types does this tool support?
    You can build simple point-based rubrics, analytical rubrics with multiple criteria and performance levels, holistic rubrics that score the response as a whole, and exact-value answer keys for short-answer or numeric questions.

    Yes. The rubric builder is free, no sign-up required. If you want to use your rubric to grade student work with AI, create a free Examplary AI account.
