385 conformal to the rules and guidelines set. The adviser likewise initially approves the
386 manuscript as a recommendation for approval of the department head by signing the approval
387 sheet as well as the transmittal.

388 After the approval of the head, it is then accepted by the department. The library, department
389 and the adviser should be given a hard copy in hard bound following the prescribed university
390 requirements.

391 In the academe, a rubric is a scoring guide to evaluate performance of the students. It
392 basically defines what is expected and what will be assessed based on specific criteria
393 making grading much simpler, more transparent, and fairer. In preparing a thesis
394 manuscript, giving student a rubric or clear guidelines for what is expected from them in a
395 thesis manuscript and how they are evaluated will encourage them to prepare a good
396 manuscript align to what is expected from it. Similarly, it makes the job of an instructor or
397 profession easier in grading a thesis manuscript.
398
399 In the preparation of a rubric, it is important to indicate the criteria that describe the key
400 elements of a thesis manuscript. Each criterion is then given a rating scale that identifies
401 the performance of the students. Under each rating scale, indicators or concrete
402 descriptors are indicated for each level of performance. The following guidelines are
403 formulated in the preparation of a rubric for evaluating a thesis manuscript of students
404 under the degree Bachelor of Science in Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering.
