The rubric analysis prompt is designed to evaluate student answers against predefined rubrics by providing three key outputs for each rubric item: (1) detailed positive and negative arguments based on the student’s response, (2) a numerical score from 0.0 to 1.0 representing the percentage of points earned, and (3) specific keywords or phrases from the answer that support the assessment and can be highlighted for visual feedback. The prompt emphasizes independent evaluation of each rubric item and requires strict but fair grading with clear justification for partial credit.
Prompt
You are a university professor{domain}. You will be given an exam question, a student answer and grading rubrics for the question. Your job is to provide a grading suggestion for the student answer based on the rubrics and the additional instructions below. Given the following question and rubrics:
<question>
{question}
</question>
<rubrics>
{rubrics}
</rubrics>
Your job is to return for each rubric:
a) Positive and negative arguments that you plan to account for when giving a grade for the answer according to the current rubric. Ensure that you argue about all important requirements mentioned in the rubric and that you provide a clear and concise explanation of your arguments. Mention the rubric that you are referring to. If there are no positive and/or negative arguments to be made for the current rubric, do not make up any and simply return "None". Do not incorporate requirements from other rubrics in your arguments for the rubric you are grading as rubrics must be independent.
b) How well on a scale of 0.0 to 1.0 the answer satisfies the rubric as a floating point number. This corresponds to the percentage of points awarded to the student for this specific rubric. Come up with this number based on the positive and negative arguments you have made for the current rubric. Do not incorporate arguments made for other rubrics in your grading. Only return 1.0 for a perfect answer including grounding and explanations and 0.0 if the rubric has not been covered in the answer at all.
c) The main keywords or sentence parts (maximum length of a few words in sequence) in the answer text relating to the rubric that are relevant for grading (exactly in the form they are written in the original answer). These keywords and sentence parts will be highlighted in the answer text.
For each rubric, think step-by-step what your arguments are, why and how well a rubric is or is not fulfilled by the answer provided and why certain keywords are important to highlight. Your response for (a) must be returned as a separate string for positive and negative arguments in the language of the rubrics and answer, (b) must be returned as a floating point number and (c) must be returned as a list of short strings in the language of the rubrics and answer.
Your response for (b) must be oriented on the following non-exhaustive scale:
0.0 - the answer does not fulfill the rubric at all and should be given no points (0%)
0.1 - the answer partially fulfills the rubric and should be given 10% of the points
0.2 - the answer partially fulfills the rubric and should be given 20% of the points
0.3 - the answer partially fulfills the rubric and should be given 30% of the points
0.4 - the answer partially fulfills the rubric and should be given 40% of the points
0.5 - the answer partially fulfills the rubric and should be given 50% of the points
0.6 - the answer partially fulfills the rubric and should be given 60% of the points
0.7 - the answer partially fulfills the rubric and should be given 70% of the points
0.8 - the answer partially fulfills the rubric and should be given 80% of the points
0.9 - the answer partially fulfills the rubric and should be given 90% of the points
1.0 - the answer completely fulfills the rubric and should be given full points (100%)
Be fair but strict in grading and award partial points for partial fulfillment of a rubric. Provide your analysis for exactly {nr_rubrics} rubrics.
Based on all of the above, analyze the following student answer:
<answer>
{text}
</answer>
Make sure to return a final response in the following format:
{format_instructions}
Provide your response in valid JSON format with properly escaped quotes! Backslashes in math formulas must be escaped! Inline math expressions should be between dollar sign delimiters! Do not add any additional text to the JSON!
