Rubrics are the key to making good projects, portfolios and exhibitions: "Not there yet" is better than "incomplete" or "unsatisfactory"

DEVELOP A RATING SCALE.

Rating scales can include either numerical or descriptive labels.  Usually, a rating scale consists of an even number of performance levels.  If an odd number is used, the middle level tends to become a catch-all category. 
On the chart below, the highest level of performance is described on the left.   A few possible labels for a four-point scale include:
4
3
2
1
4 points
3 points
1 point
0 points
Exemplary
Excellent
Acceptable
Unacceptable
Exceeds expectations
Meets expectations
Progressing
Not there yet
Superior
Good
Fair
Needs work
Excellent
Good
Needs improvement
Unacceptable
Sophisticated
Highly competent

DEVELOP INDICATORS OF QUALITY.
