For context, in one of our courses, we initially had 12 modules. However, we removed the last 3 modules earlier this year. Our assessments/activities used a rubric to grade all 12 activities corresponding to these 12 modules. Now, we want to update the rubric by removing the last 3 activities (10, 11, and 12). Unfortunately, it seems that the rubric is locked and cannot be edited, likely because it is currently in use.
To work around this, I copied the rubric and made the necessary changes to the new version. Now, I want to replace the old rubric with the updated one. My concern is whether this replacement will affect the grades of students who have already been assessed using the original rubric, as we are planning to delete the original rubric.
