Complex Assessments: Canvas Rubrics may not fully accommodate intricate grading schemes or assessments requiring highly detailed feedback beyond the rubric's structure.

On-the-Fly Adjustments: Instructors seeking to modify rubrics during the grading process may find Canvas Rubrics less flexible, as changes to a rubric do not apply retroactively to graded submissions.

Editing Limitations: Once a rubric is applied to multiple assignments, it cannot be edited. To make changes, instructors must create a copy of the rubric and edit the new version.

Deletion Impacts: Deleting a rubric removes it from all associated assignments and erases related scores and assessments, which can be problematic if not carefully managed.

Assessment and Grading: Utilize rubrics to provide clear grading criteria, promote consistency, and offer structured feedback.

Collaborative Projects: Apply rubrics to group assignments to ensure fair and transparent evaluation of each member's contributions.

Peer Reviews: Enable students to use rubrics during peer assessments, fostering critical thinking and self-reflection.

Consistent Structure: Rubrics provide a standardized format that is accessible to all students, including those using assistive technologies.

Clear Expectations: Detailed criteria and performance levels help all students understand assignment requirements and how to achieve success.
