The next step in setting up your assignment, is adding a rubric. To do this, navigate to the Rubric tab. In the rubric, you will specify how you grade the students.

Creating a new rubric for your CodeGrade assignment

1. Click on the Plus icon to create a new rubric.

2. Create a new category by pressing one of the "Discrete category" or "Continuous category" buttons.

   Discrete rubric categories are traditional rubric categories. They allow you to create multiple levels within a category. While grading you can select the level the student achieved.

   Continuous rubric categories allow you to set a maximum amount points, and give everything between a lower bound and an upper bound for that category (e.g. between 0 and 5, or -10 and 0). These categories are especially useful when automatically grading.

3. Set a category name and category description.

4. You can create new levels by clicking on the empty level with a large Plus in it. For each level set a header, a description, and an amount of points.

5. Add as many levels and categories as necessary. You can reorder levels by dragging the handle up or down.
