**Creating a Shared Rubric on Google Forms**

1. Create the rubric on Google Forms.
 * Use Text style questions for Author's Name, Author's Email Address, and Evaluator's Name. For the individual rows/criteria on the rubric, use Multiple Choice or Grid style questions.
 * It's best if the only text in the fields for the respondents' choices is the numeric score (e.g., 1-4) or a //very short// descriptor of what that score means (e.g., 3 - Proficient). Anything in those fields will appear in the spreadsheet, so you don't want a lot of text there.
 * Make sure you click "Make this a required question" for all questions.

2. Once you have finalized the rubric, title it and click Save. Close the window, go back to your Google Docs home, and select the form. This will open the spreadsheet that collects the data each time someone fills out the rubric. **Make sure the rubric looks exactly how you want it to look before proceeding to step 3.**
 * To see what the rubric will look like to respondents, go to the "Form" menu, and select "Go to live form."
 * To make changes to the rubric, go to the "Form" menu, and select "Edit form." Save all changes.

3. Install the FormEmailer script on your rubric. Click HERE for instructions and a video tutorial on how to install this script. Once the script is installed, there will be a new tab on your spreadsheet's menu called "FormEmailer." Under that menu, click "Settings."
 * In the "Sender Name" field, delete what is there and insert a placeholder for "Evaluator's Name."
 * In the "To" field, delete what is there and insert a placeholder for "Author's Email Address."

4. You can then set a trigger so that emails will be automatically sent to the student whose work is being evaluated each time another student fills out the rubric. Follow the steps below:
 * From the spreadsheet, in the "Tools" menu, select "Script editor." This will open a new window titled "FormEmailer." Ignore all the scary-looking code.
 * Under the "Resources" menu, select "Current script's triggers." Click "Add a new trigger."
 * When the new trigger pops up, make sure the first field says "timeDriven" and the second field says "From spreadsheet." Change the third field to say "On form submit." Click Save, and close the window.

5. Check to see if the FormEmailer script is working by filling out the rubric yourself and entering your own email address in the Author's Email Address field. Now you can embed the rubric on your webpage or share/email the link to it with your students.
