Rubric Ratings

[AnthonyBailey]

I am not able to list a range of grading ratings for each 'criteria ' on a rubric without repeating a particular 'score'. e.g. if a 'B' is 60-70 and an 'A' is 70 -100 the repetition of the 70 here is an issue. if I change the  '70' to a '69' or '71' it changes both iterations of that number. Adding decimal places also does not change this repetition.

Are there any work arounds that may mitigate this?  Any help appreciated.

Many thanks

@AnthonyBailey 

In a rubric, the B and A fields can't both contain the figure 70 unless one includes the > or < symbol (if both fields simply contained 70, the rubric wouldn't know what to do with the score). So B would need to be 60-69 (edited to add: or <70, which represents a figure below 70) and A needs to be 70-100. You'll find details in the Select Range section of  How do I add a rubric in a course?

[AnthonyBailey]

Exactly and that is my point, as I mentioned in my original post. Canvas will not allow me to have 100 >70 for one grade and then 69>60 for the next.

@AnthonyBailey  Here's a screenshot of one of my rubrics:

Have you enabled ranges on the rubric?

So the repetition of 2.3 is not a problem?? That looks like the same point value in two Ratings to me?

[Stef_retired]

That is not the same point value in two ranges, because one of them represents the single point figure 2.3, and the other represents >2.3 (i.e., any value greater than 2.3 up to 4.3).

[AnthonyBailey]

But  (in your example) if a student gets 2.3 what rating do they have?

Here is screenshot of rubric.

That looks perfect! Do you still need assistance with this?

[AnthonyBailey]

I am really sorry but I can't see this as a solution...this is the problem that I originally stated. What grade does one of my students get if they get 70? Is it a B or an A?

[Stef_retired]

@AnthonyBailey Your rubric clearly defines 70 as a B. Anything above 70 and up to 100 is an A.

[AnthonyBailey]

I am sorry to disagree but a student getting 70 will look at rubric and ask 'why have I not got a A as it clearly says 70-100 is an A?' 

[Stef_retired]

When a student says that to you, explain to them the significance of the > symbol in front of the 70.

[AnthonyBailey]

This is not solved. 

[Stef_retired]

Sorry to hear that! Could you help us understand what additional help you need in creating this rubric?

[Stef_retired]

@AnthonyBailey  I made a slight edit to the reply marked as the Solution to indicate the significance of the < and > symbols when creating the ranges.

[AnthonyBailey]

Ah I hadn't actually noticed the '>' symbol! Many thanks.
