Feedback (3) and select Rubric Scores (4) to assign points. Offer
any necessary comments under Feedback (5) for each category.
The Rubric Scores will be displayed at the bottom of the rubric as a
total. You have the option to adjust the final score, without changing
any of the category scores. You can also add a final comment at the
bottom of the Rubric.

15. In this example, the Raw Total on the Rubric was 68%, but the
student’s score was adjusted to 73% by the instructor. A final
comment was added into Feedback and then Save Rubric was
selected. At the top of the grading window, double check that the
final score has accurately been entered into attempt automatically
from the Rubric and then select Submit.
