Master Grading Rubrics - AI in Business Course

Comprehensive grading rubrics for Generative AI for Business and Creative Professionals course at CT State Norwalk Community College.

Purpose

These rubrics provide transparent, consistent grading criteria for all course assignments. Students can use them to self-assess work before submission. Instructors can use them for efficient, fair grading.

Core Philosophy

We assess AI collaboration skills and business thinking, not domain expertise (finance, ethics, etc.). Students are evaluated on:

• Quality of prompts and AI partnership
• Business judgment and practical thinking
• Ethical awareness as business consideration
• Synthesis of AI insights into own analysis

Contents

• MASTER-RUBRICS.md: Complete rubrics with detailed scoring guides and examples
• quick-reference/: One-page summaries for quick consultation

For Students

Before submitting any work:

1. Check the relevant rubric sections
2. Use the self-assessment checklist
3. Make sure you can honestly say your work meets "proficient" or better

Key principle: These rubrics teach you what good AI collaboration looks like. They're learning tools, not just grading tools.

For Instructors

Efficiency tips:

• Grade by question type, not by student
• Use comment bank for common feedback
• Target 5-7 minutes per student
• Focus detailed feedback on prompt quality

See MASTER-RUBRICS.md Section "Instructor Grading Efficiency Guide" for full details.
