Data Analysis Rubric WHAT IS THIS RESOURCE? HOW DO I USE IT? This is a grading rubric an instructor uses to assess students’ work on this type of assignment. It is a sample rubric that needs to be edited to reflect the specifics of a particular assignment. Students can self-assess using the rubric as a checklist before submitting their assignment. This sample rubric can also be found under the Turnitin tool in Blackboard to facilitate online grading.

Distribute the rubric to students when first introducing the assignment. Use the rubric to grade student work.
