<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The new, integrated Rubric course tool makes it easy to grade student work using a rubric right in the Learning Studio gradebook. A streamlined rubric creation tool allows you to use the same rubric for multiple
assignments, or to create unique rubrics to use for grading different types of student work. Rubrics will copy over within Pearson Learning Studio just like the rest of the gradebook set-up, making getting ready for a new semester simpler than ever. Please
review the attached knowledge article or watch the <a href="http://youtu.be/j81EH_817oA">
instructional video</a> to get familiar with the rubric creation process, and start using rubrics to give your students valuable, efficient feedback. Additional information can be found on the
