LABCRUX GUIDE

How to check a lab report against a rubric

Preserve the rubric's exact wording, locate candidate evidence, and leave quality judgments and scoring with the course authority.

Use the actual assignment rubric

Do not substitute a generic report format or another course's checklist. Preserve descriptors, required files, and instructor clarifications with their current date.

Build an evidence map

For each requirement, record the section, figure, table, calculation, appendix, or attachment that addresses it. A keyword match is only a candidate location.

Separate presence from quality

Evidence can be present without satisfying a performance descriptor. LabCrux can identify locations and inconsistencies, but it does not predict the instructor's grade.

Resolve conflicts explicitly

When generic conventions conflict with a course instruction, follow the course authority and record the decision so later edits use the same rule.
