Select Rubric Criteria

AI Transparency & Disclosure
How well did the student document their AI use?

Critical Evaluation of AI Output
Did the student evaluate, question, and improve upon what the AI produced?

Prompt Engineering & Iteration
How effectively did the student craft and refine their prompts?

Original Thinking & Value-Add
What did the student contribute beyond what AI could produce alone?

Content Accuracy & Depth
Is the final submission accurate, well-reasoned, and appropriately deep?

Reflection on AI Collaboration
How thoughtfully does the student reflect on their AI-assisted process?

Rubric Preview (3 criteria, 12 pts max)

Criterion	Excellent (4)	Proficient (3)	Developing (2)	Insufficient (1)
AI Transparency & Disclosure	Provides complete AI use log with all prompts, responses, and detailed notes on what was modified. Clearly distinguishes own work from AI-assisted work.	Provides AI use log with most prompts and responses. Indicates which parts were AI-assisted and which were original.	Mentions AI use but log is incomplete. Difficult to tell exactly how AI contributed to the final submission.	No AI disclosure provided, or disclosure is vague/misleading. Cannot determine how AI was used.
Critical Evaluation of AI Output	Identifies specific strengths and weaknesses in AI output. Corrects factual errors, improves reasoning, and adds original analysis that goes beyond the AI response.	Evaluates AI output and makes meaningful improvements. Shows awareness of AI limitations in this context.	Makes minor edits to AI output but doesn't critically assess accuracy or reasoning. Accepts most AI output at face value.	Submits AI output with minimal or no modification. No evidence of critical evaluation.
Original Thinking & Value-Add	Adds substantial original analysis, personal insight, real-world connections, or creative synthesis that AI could not produce. Final work is clearly elevated beyond AI capability.	Adds meaningful original content — personal examples, discipline-specific insight, or connections to course material not present in AI output.	Adds minimal original content. Most value comes from the AI; student contributions are surface-level.	No discernible original contribution. Work could have been produced entirely by AI.
