Level Selection

The Level Selection rubric presents the reviewer with a criteria × headings grid. Rows are criteria — aspects of the response being evaluated. Columns are headings — performance levels shared across all criteria (e.g. “Excellent”, “Good”, “Needs Improvement”). The reviewer selects one heading per criterion; the selected cell's percentage value determines the criterion's contribution to the overall score.

Structure

• Criteria — the rows. Each criterion has a title, an optional description, and a Weight (percentage). Weights across all criteria must sum to 100%.
• Headings — the columns, shared across all criteria. Each heading has a title and an optional short code (up to 2 characters, e.g. “EX”). Use Add Level in the editor to add a heading column.
• Cells — the intersections. Each cell has a description and a fixed Score (percentage value, 0–100).

Custom Levels Per Criterion

By default all criteria share the same set of headings. Enable the Customize levels for each criterion toggle to give each criterion its own set of levels instead. When custom levels are on:

• Each criterion has its own level list (minimum 2 levels required). Level names, descriptions, and score values are defined independently per criterion.
• One criterion can have three levels while another has five — each with completely different names and score values.
• The hint shown to reviewers is: “Select one level for each criterion. Each criterion can have its own levels.”

Toggling between shared and custom levels resets the rubric structure, so define which mode you want before adding detailed content.

How the Score Is Calculated

For each criterion, the selected cell's percentage is multiplied by the criterion's weight. The weighted values are summed and divided by the total weight to produce the overall success rate (0–100%). This rate is multiplied by the question's point multiplier to produce the final score.

Example: three criteria weighted 30%, 30%, and 40%. Selected cell scores: 100%, 75%, 50%. Success rate = (100×30 + 75×30 + 50×40) / 100 = 71.5%.
