Single-point Annotation Rubric

Single-point rubrics look almost like a checklist of what a proficient completed assignment
contains, providing descriptions for different criteria considered for grading. In a single-point
rubric, only proficiency is described, instead of including descriptions of what is considered less
than proficient.

Scoring guide: each bullet is worth 1 point each for a total of 5 possible points.

● Replies to classmates are additive, which answer their questions or extend their
responses.
