Once you have created and assigned a rubric assessment, it may require that students submit that assessment.
💡 Tips:
Students do not need to submit a rubric assessment in order for the teacher to grade it; teachers can grade rubric assessments at any time, even if the student does not submit.
Students do not need to add an attachment in order to submit a rubric assessment; they can click Submit with or without an attachment.
