About the University Rubrics and Student WPA
Teaching Librarians do not need to do anything with rubrics.
Information on this page is not needed for teaching LIBBI sessions, but is provided as a convenience for those interested in reviewing the General Education Information Literacy rubrics for Composition 102. GEN-2-C-4, -C-5, -C-6, -C-7 are used for the LIBBIs; GEN-2-C-1, -C-2, -C-3 are used for the Composition 102 research paper/documented essay.
