Prompt objective
Create analytical and holistic rubrics for evaluating practical projects, portfolios, and submissions in online courses, with clear criteria and performance scales for each assessment level.
Real use case
Marina teaches a Graphic Design course on an online platform. Her students submit 5 portfolio pieces but receive vague feedback like 'looks nice' or 'needs improvement' instead of specific criteria. They want to know exactly what's expected before submitting, and Marina needs a consistent method to evaluate work fairly across all students.
