Adding Outcomes to Rubrics

Updated on

Outcomes, used for assessment, are included in grading rubrics inside of eCourses.   Outcomes must be pre-loaded by CIITS each semester unless copying a course from a prior term that already has the outcomes loaded.  This guide walks through the process of adding outcomes to a grading rubric.

This process can also be used if an assignment is used exclusively for assessment.  That is the assignment does not factor into the class grade.
