Is there a way to attach a rubric to a quiz/exam or better yet, a specific question in a quiz/exam?

I would like to add a rubric(s) for the written reponse question(s) on a quiz/exam.

For my CAD courses, there are several parts to an exam:

First part: Questoins (matching, multiple choice, etc.)

Second (and sometimes third) part: Drawing/CAD Model

For the last part(s), I have students upload their drawing/CAD Model to a written reponse question. I would like to use rubrics to grade this part of the exam. I could, if needed, create each exam part as a seperate exam in the quiz tool if that would enable me to add a rubric to the entire “part 2 (or 3)” of the exam. Best option would be to add a rubric to the written reponse question itself.

    @Mike.Gwin4423 No, unfortunately you cannot attach a rubric to a quiz or question in a quiz. It used to be possible to add a rubric that only the instructor could see, but that was removed 4 years ago. Check out D791 on the Product Idea Exchange. It's marked as Under Consideration.

    Hi @Mike.Gwin4423 ,

    Thanks for reaching out with this great question!

    We love that you'd like to add a rubric to a quiz. I'm hoping that this article for Creating Rubrics is helpful to demonstrate the workflow for doing so.

    Thank you for the article, however, the article only cover how to create and edit rubrics. It does not cover associating a rubric with a quiz or question.

    It would be very useful to be able to add a rubric to questions like written response questions that need to be manually graded.

    Again, in my CAD classes, exams consist of a "standard questions section" (matching, multiple choice, t/f, etc.), and then one or two "CAD exercises". These CAD exercises are done manually on paper and/or on CAD software. Pics (scans) of the manual work and saved files for the CAD work are uploaded to the corresponding exam part.

    Using a rubric is my preferred method to grade the manual drawing & CAD work. I have rubrics set up for Assignments but do not see an option to add them to exams (quiz) let alone individual question like written repose.

    I suppose, I could create Assignments for the manual drawing & CAD parts and then group/grade them as "exam".

    Thoughts?

    Mike

    @Mike.Gwin4423 Julie might be a bot. D2L appears to rely on the user community to answer questions as opposed to paid employees reading and replying.

    I have done what you sort of suggest which is to make an Assignment that is part of the quiz. The quiz is associated with a gradebook entry in a "quizzes" category.

  • I would investigate (attempt) to set up the entire quiz as an "assignment" to trick the adding of rubrics.
    Only challenge is ---- not sure if there is impediment in the gradebook entry association as in the "quiz" category capability.
