This singular rubric trait is suitable for formative and summative assignments that require credible sources to support ideas. Add this rubric trait to an existing rubric or use it as is when asking students to identify credible sources and/or include them in their writing.

Consider using the Source credibility QuickMark set with this rubric trait. These drag-and-drop comments were tailor-made by veteran educators to give actionable, formative feedback directly to students. While they were explicitly aligned to this particular rubric trait, you can edit or add your own content to any QuickMark set.
