Pass/Fail Rubrics
A Pass/Fail activity is an activity where a student can either Pass (have 100% at the creation score) or Fail (“Did not meet requirements”, have 0% at the creation score), based on a rule that the instructor chooses when creating the rubric.
NOTE: Pass/Fail is available only with criteria that all have the same amount of levels
How to Create a Pass/Fail Rubric
Select the Activities icon on the left navigation menu.
Fill out the activity details section.
Under the Rubric heading, select ‘Edit Rubric’
Select ‘Pass/Fail’ in the Rubric Grading section
Select the minimum level and the rule that will be applied to the rubric.
For example, “Students must at least obtain [choose a level of the rubric] in either ‘Any Criteria’, ‘Majority of Criteria’, or ‘All Criteria'
NOTE: The level will be one of the criteria levels.
Example: If the instructor chooses “Level 2” and “Any criteria”, it means that the student will have to have a creation score with at least Level 2 in one of the criteria.
For both the student and the instructor, the rubric will view as:
Creation Score
NOTE: Pass/Fail activities work as any activities until the evaluation stage begins.
When a student is evaluated (either by other students or by the instructor), they can either:
Pass. Based on the evaluation average or instructor’s grade, the rule that was defined in the rubric is met.
The student creation score is 100%, even if the actual average is not 100%
Fail. Not meet requirements. The rule that was defined in the rubric is NOT met. The student creation score is 0%, even if the actual average is not 0%
