criteria that can be used to assess a variety of assignments.
A general rubric is just that - general. It isn't for any specific assignment but rather can be used for a variety of assignments. For example, a general rubric that would fit a variety of projects might say things like: Project is neat and organized. This statement could fit a poster, essay, speech, powerpoint or other option. Since a rubric is used for grading, it would not include tips for publishing and presenting an essay or information about the writing process.
