This document discusses analytic and holistic rubrics for student assessment. It provides examples of each type of rubric.
An analytic rubric assesses specific criteria or components of a student's work separately, allowing for a more detailed evaluation. It provides multiple levels of achievement for each criteria. A holistic rubric evaluates student work as a whole and provides an overall rating, describing performance at different levels through paragraphs rather than assessing individual criteria. The document explains when each type is more appropriate to use and provides sample rubrics to illustrate the differences between analytic and holistic approaches.
