This Guide walks you grading using a rubric and the annotation tool.
If you have questions about Rubrics that are not answered in this Guide or the FAQ page, please let us know at asktei@sjcme.edu.
Using rubrics in your course sets clear expectations for students and can significantly reduce time spent grading (especially when combined with the Annotation Tool).
Your program may have specific rubrics that are added to Dropbox. To learn more about rubrics in your program, please contact your Program Director.
Why Grade Using a Rubric?
Rubrics benefit both you, the instructor, and your students because they enable clear communication in terms of both your expectations for an assignment and detailed feedback in response to students' work.
If you are interested in learning more about adding rubrics to your Brightspace course, please contact your Program Director and asktei@sjcme.edu.
Note: If you prefer written instructions, see the PDF below each video or in the Written Instructions box on the right-hand side of the page.

Why Grade with a Rubric and the Annotation Tool?
This is the Dynamic Duo of grading!
Similar to the comment feature in Word, the Annotation Tool in Dropbox will allow you to comment, highlight, underline, et cetera on a student's submission without ever leaving the Brightspace platform. Using the Annotation tool along with a rubric provides quality feedback and greatly reduces grading time.

Note: If you prefer written instructions, please view the PDFs underneath the video as well as in the Written Instructions Box on the right-hand side of the page. Also, we recommend viewing the video to understand how the tools work in conjunction.
