*NOTE: Instructors may choose to develop one of their own indicators, if they are unable to find 4 different indicators from the rubric that align with the course-embedded Core assessment (assignment). Name the
indicator, and provide detailed descriptions of what student performance will look like at each performance level listed. The indicator of choice must directly align with the intent of the Core Objective.
