In Mastery Connect, an assessment may include rubric-based items that you must grade manually. You can assess rubric-based items using the Performance Grader.
You can use the Performance Grader to grade a rubric-based item in an item-based assessment or a document-based assessment.

Score Item-Based Assessment Item
To score an item in an item-based assessment in the Performance Grader, select a student name [1].
