A rubric is a term with several related meanings. In education, it refers to a scoring guide or set of criteria used to evaluate students’ work. In the context of manuscripts and books, it originally meant a heading, title, or instruction written in red ink, and by extension any heading or directive in a text. More generally, a rubric can mean a category or classification under which something is organized. In liturgy, it denotes directions for conducting religious services, which were also traditionally written in red.
