The grading criteria that turns subjective opinions into objective-looking math.
means A set of criteria or a guide that spells out how something will be judged or categorized.
from From Latin 'rubrica' meaning red ochre or red chalk — in medieval manuscripts, headings and instructions were often written in red ink to set them apart from the black body text. Those red-lettered headings and directions became 'rubrics,' and the word drifted from 'the red heading that tells you what to do' to 'the rule or standard you follow.'
