FHSU Rubrics
Watch for this list to grow as the WAC initiative grows and we add writing-related rubrics from across campus.
Developed by the FHSU WAC Committee, this rubric is an optional resource that can help you specify to your students exactly what you expect from a persuasive writing project—and this rubric aligns with the first of the Writing-Related CORE Outcomes. Feel free to adapt the rubric to the specifics of your assignment.
