Once you have added a rubric, you can select several options for the rubric.
If you want to write free-form comments to students in SpeedGrader, select the I'll write free-form comments... checkbox [1]. If this option is selected, no ratings are used to assess the student and criterion values are assigned manually.
If you want to remove points from the rubric, select the Remove points from rubric checkbox [2]. If this option is selected, no points are associated with the rubric, but students can still be rated using the rubric criterion.
If you have the Learning Mastery Gradebook enabled but you don't want outcome results posted to the Learning Mastery Gradebook, select the Don't post Outcomes results to Learning Mastery Gradebook checkbox [3]. If this option is selected, students will be able to see rubric and outcome results in the Grades and submission details pages but results will not be posted to the Learning Mastery Gradebook.
If you don't want students to see the score total for the rubric, select the Hide score total for assessment results checkbox [4]. Students can still see the point values for each criterion, but the total score will not be shown at the bottom of the rubric. This option applies to students when they view rubrics from the Grades page.
