How to Use the Rubric:
● Use the first two criteria (Completion and Accuracy) to determine a base grading of the homework: A, B, C, D, or F.
● Supporting criteria of Thoroughness, Presentation and Degree of Competency can be used to bolster or diminish the marking by half a letter grade.
○ For example: A homework that is complete and accurate, but sloppy and contains distracting spelling errors may drop from an A grading to an A-.
● If a student is on the border between two grades (A/B, B/C, etc.) use your discretion to decide what grade the student should receive.
● If the homework is incomplete, disregard the rubric and mark the homework on BootCampSpot as Incomplete.
● Use the criteria of “Level of Competency” to inform the type of feedback you provide.
○ For example, if a student displays complete competency, provide a sentence of encouragement, and maybe even encourage them to explore more advanced
details of the topic on their own time.
○ A lower level of competency should be addressed in the feedback by distinguishing what specifically the student is lacking, and if they should visit office hours in
order to improve their understanding of the subject.
● Lastly, it should be noted that if students submit homework with a very high level of accuracy and completion, but lacking thorough work and a sense of competency,
TAs should be cautious of potential plagiarism.
