Holistic rubrics, as the name applies, evaluate and give feedback on the assessment as a whole. They use a single row to articulate criteria expectations and the varying levels of achievement. It allows for more comprehensive feedback with the possibility of individualized feedback (if overall feedback text accompanies the rubric) but they can lack targeted specific criteria
If you are creating a holistic rubric, which always uses a percentage scoring method, enter the start range for that level or rating. The start range for your lowest achievement level is automatically set to 0%. The start range for other levels should be the lowest percentage acceptable for the level. The highest percentage is determined by the start range for the next level in the rubric. Example below.
Holistic rubrics use percentages for scoring and text feedback.
