It is interesting that so many comments are about making the font larger. Mine seems to come up as 14 point, which is like reading primary grade text. Is there a way to set the default font size or style?

Kelly, I appreciate your humor. I watch those same movies and have the same thoughts at times.There are days when I feel like the computer has already taken my place, then it misbehaves and I have to take it to task. -Anita

@kmeeusen and Nancy, I agree with you on expectations and requirements. Our grading rules do not allow for redistribution of points, thus, I would not have anywhere to draw from for adding points for meeting expectations and requirements. If I did have that option, your solutions is smart thinking. What I am asking for is a way to deduct points in the rubric for an otherwise ungraded element (the late work penalty is not content or composition, which are graded elements) . The current means I use is to calculate the grade and then write a short message in comments to explain to the student the reason the points earned in the rubric are not the same as the points earned for the assignment. While it is not higher math to calculate a 5% per day late work penalty, I would just as soon have a computer calculate it, after all, isn't that what computers do best - calculate numbers. -Anita

Linnea, I understand you comments. However, I have found it useful to use a line in the rubric for meets expectations and another for meets requirements. Requirements includes correct format for the assignment and following directions to submit the document (Word.doc, APA style formatting for essays, other formatting for other kinds of assignments). Expectations, I use for elements related to grammar, logical organization, punctuation, spelling, word choice, and the like. I don't teach composition, however, passing a composition course is a prerequisite for the course I teach. Work is evaluated on those elements. They are graded on Meets requirements/expectations (30 points - A work) Meets most...(26 points - B work) Meets some...(22 points - C work) Needs improvement (18 points - D work) A zero can be earned but usually if there is an attempt at meeting expectations or requirements some points are earned. These two categories are equally weighted for grading and together are 60 points of 200 possible. What I am wanting added is a line that will show the points deducted for being submitted late. I like the ideas suggesting calculating a percentage but, the idea of deducting points is fine, too.

I would like to have the option to add a row in the rubric to subtract points for work being late. There is not a way that I have come up with to do that. I tried creating a rubric with minus points; that didn't work. In the quizzes, there is a calculation that can be made using the fudge box at the end of the quiz. I can enter minus points and then the calculation is automatically done when the score updates. It seems something similar should work in a rubric. The row, in my imagination, would look something like this and it would be the last row in the rubric: Late work Does not apply Grace Period 1 day late 2 days late 3 days late additions day late 0 0 -5 points -10 points -15 points -5 per day Or, maybe, simply: Late work Minus 5% per day. It's a computer, there has to be an easy way for a computer to do that simple calculation automatically when given the conditions to do it; however, this is not my field of study so I could be completely wrong.
