If you create outcomes under manage rubrics, why can't the user attach them to assignments?

 @ericwhitmer ‌, outcomes can't be attached directly to assignments, yet outcome mastery can easily be assessed for an assignment through the use of a rubric attached to that assignment. When I was teaching, I used to create rubrics that incorporated the criteria for the assignment itself, as well as outcomes that related to course objectives and outcomes that connected to college-wide objectives. Since I wanted to capture students' mastery of those outcomes without having the points for the outcomes contribute to the grade for the assignment, I imported each outcome into the rubric with the "Use this criterion for scoring" checkbox disabled. This is detailed in How do I align an outcome with a rubric in a course? 

Hope this helps.
