Here is an example syllabus: https://github.com/jkitchin/f15-06625/blob/master/syllabus.org
I probably misuse the word rubric a bit, it means an assignment grade is determined by a few components, e.g. technical (70%) and presentation (30%) which are given full letter grades independently, and a weighted average is computed for the overall grade. Some rubric definitions are listed here: https://github.com/jkitchin/jmax/blob/master/techela/techela-admin.el#L49 The gb-grade function just prompts me for each grade and then computes the weighted average.
