Rubrics Page- Formula Rubrics

Formula rubrics are selections of criterion across many rubrics, combined in a weighted formula. This combination of cross-rubric criteria gives an analysis with very focused results.

To set up a rubric which uses the formula feature, create a new rubric in the usual way, and select the assessment regime 'combine results' from other assessments.

Proceed to define one or more criteria, and then scroll to the bottom to create the rubric. The new rubric shows up in the list.

Now click on the ‘formula’ link next to the new rubric, and this page appears.

Each criterion can be a combination of up to 12 other criteria. Only criteria from non-formula rubrics can be included in formulas. The ‘if missing’ column determines how the result of the formula should treat data which are missing (not submitted, or not yet evaluated) at the time the formula is calculated. The options are as follows:

If there is any conflict in the result of applying last three options, the first missing result found will determine the outcome. For instance if line 3 in the formula uses ‘result is zero’ and line 5 in the formula uses ‘result is one,’ then if both are missing, the line 3 rule is applied. It is recommended that the same missing-data option be used for all elements in a formula, except that ‘treat as zero’ and ‘treat as one’ can be used in combination with one of the others without causing problems.
