Rubric Feature for Speedgrader/New Quizzes

[BrandonWiles]

I was wondering if a feature like this could be implemented:

in rubrics, we have a quick setting where we can click the box of the associated column of points to assign a score. Could this be implemented for essay questions in Speedgrader? Where when I make the assignment/quiz, I can select an option to set up a rubric for that question. That way, when using speedgrader, I can quickly click on the associated outcomes for that essay question in assigning its points. One of the biggest benefits of this to me is just the transparency to the students as they can see then a quick note that I don't have to write b/c it's the same for every iteration of the question of why they scored as they did for that essay response. As it is, the repetitive nature of doing this on every question grossly slows down the grading of all assignments in Speedgrader.

To be clear, what I need to make Speedgrader actually speedy is the ability to set up a rubric for individual Essay-type questions when making a Quiz assignment.

It will not allow  me to use the option to grade using the rubric in a essay question for a quiz. I can do it for an assignment, but the option is not there for a quiz.

This is a feature request topic. They did implement Rubrics for New Quizzes after this, but it is for the whole assignment, not individual questions.

I see that Rubrics have been implemented for New Quizzes now, which is great.

I would still like it to be something per question in Speedgrader that we set up when making the quiz question.

But for now, a simpler ask is: please make it so students can view Rubrics in New Quizzes. The button is present when viewing a graded Quiz, but not while taking the quiz. At least not anymore in Student View. I did have some students say that they could find and see the Rubric before submission a few semesters back, so I don't know if this was there but is now broken or what. It is really undermining the transparency and directness of their grading that I'm trying to use Rubrics for. I think the issue is that students cannot seem to see a settings page for a New Quiz in the way they can in these videos (https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Question-Forum/Cannot-see-rubrics-tab-in-student-view/m-p/...

It would also be helpful to have this as an option in the Rubric settings (another checkbox: Show Rubric before Submission); I can understand that there may be situations in which a rubric is written in a too revealing fashion and might just give students the answers if they could see it (I've been trying to be careful to avoid this in writing my own Rubrics in New Quizzes).

Hello @BrandonWiles 

This is a awesome idea and I think you are on to something here! (Kudos!) 😎

I would love to see the ability for instructors to attach a rubric to a Essay questions. I can see how this would be beneficial! Not only would it allow you to save time grading each student response on essay questions, but it would also allow you to provide more accurate feedback to students based on how they respond to the Essay questions. 

To confirm (I tested this) students can see the rubric used for grading on New Quizzes by going to the Grades page, clicking on the Assignment, and selecting the Show Rubric button. Since the New Quizzes engine uses an assignment with the External Tool Submission type, the rubric is only attached to the assignment portion of the tool instead of in the build screen. 

I checked out the Community ideas page and found THIS idea, which seems sorta related to your question here.
