Every course and assignment has Rubric Permissions that can be set by an instructor. Rubric Permissions determine which Gradescope staff can add, import, and edit the rubrics for a course or assignment. Only an instructor can customize rubric permissions to lock rubric editing entirely and prevent any changes. Rubric Permissions can be set in the Assignment Settings and Course Settings.
Rubric permissions can be customized to one of the following options:
- All staff can edit rubrics - Instructors, TAs, and Reader roles can add, import, and edit the rubrics for the course/assignment and grade normally.
-
Only instructors can edit rubrics - Only allows instructors to add, import, and edit the rubrics for the assignment. All staff can still apply rubrics, comments, and annotations during grading. If selected, the following grading settings are locked for TAs and Readers and can only be edited by an instructor in the course:
-
- Default Scoring Method
- Default Scoring Bounds
- Create Your Rubric
- Rubric Group Selection Style
- Scoring Method
- Scoring Bounds
-
-
No one can edit rubrics - This setting locks the rubrics and additional grading settings for all staff for the assignment. This prevents any staff from adding, importing, and editing the rubrics.
