I found a typo on a rubric. Can you fix it?

All rubrics on iRubric are created by our members. So we do not control the content. You are more than welcome to post a discussion right below the rubric.

If you are planning to use a rubric with typos, please "copy" it to your zone and make the necessary modifications. To make a copy of a rubric, click on the copy to my rubrics () icon on top of the rubric.
