Single-point rubric description

Single-point rubrics are like a simpler version of analytic rubrics. They look almost like a checklist of what a proficient completed assignment contains, providing descriptions for different criteria considered for grading. The key difference between a single-point rubric and an analytic rubric is that only proficiency is described (instead of including descriptions for what is less than proficient as well).

Single-point rubrics can be quick to develop and implement, but may provide limited feedback to students without further comments.
