Rubrics with knock-out criteria

Hi, 

I was wondering if it is possible to include, so-called, knock-out criteria in the Canvas Rubrics? That means can I overrule the outcome of the Rubric if students for example receive a "poor" on a specific criteria of the Rubric. 

Kind regards, 

Aniek

Hi @a_a_m_tuerlings 

This can be done, and I just tested it to make sure nothing has changed.

  1. Create  your rubric, or edit your existing one,
  2. Add your knock-out criteria and make its value a negative whatever the possible score is. Canvas rubrics will accept negative numbers!

In my example, I created a 100 pt assignment, then created a rubric with five criteria worth 20 points each, then added a 6th criteria worth -100 points. Ran a test student through the assignment, graded the assignment using the rubric, and gave my student full points for the first five criteria, but scored them with -100 on #6, and the rubric posted a score of zero.

 

I hope this helps,

Kelley
