Analytic Rubrics
Analytic rubrics offer a number of criteria (typically 4-7) in the left column with a scale of performance in the topmost column. Criteria may be set by the teacher or institution and should reflect standards in the discipline. For writing, typical criteria include: thesis, organization, grammar/mechanics, and analysis. The performance scale typically has a range of 1-4 or D-A. The interior grid usually sets forth the standards required to meet that score in the criteria. An assessor scores each criteria separately and decides on a final grade in considering each field. (depaul.edu)

Holistic Rubrics
Holistic rubrics consist of a single scale by which all criteria are assessed. When assessing writing with a holistic rubric, the assessor judges the piece as a whole in how it meets criteria set forth for that performance scale. Typically, grading scales range from 3-6 (depaul.edu) with labels that indicate the effectiveness of the paper. Typical labels indicate how the paper as a whole meets expectations of the audience/course.
