RubricFlow RuleBook

From Rubric → First Draft Deck in ~10 minutes

What it is

Builds the first correct structure from your rubric & notes.

What it’s not

Not a “magic design show”. You still own content quality.

What you get

A clean first draft deck + slide-by-slide editor + PDF export.

Workflow

The 10-minute loop

You don’t need to read everything. Follow the 3 steps, then use the Field Guide when you get stuck.

1

Paste rubric & notes

Rubric = criteria. Notes = your distilled points (citations optional).

2

Generate Deck Now

AI generates a complete first-pass deck and renders a preview below.

3

Edit slide-by-slide

Refine titles + bullets, add visuals, then export a clean PDF.

Step 1

Paste rubric & notes

Rubric = grading criteria / evaluation points. Notes = your distilled points / citations (optional).

Inputs

  • Rubric: what gets points
  • Notes: one idea per line (no paragraphs)
  • References (optional): one reference per line, any format
Step 1: structure form (paste rubric and notes)
Structure form — paste rubric + notes.
✅ Tip — Notes that generate stable slides
  • Bullet points only (one idea per line)
  • Use evaluative claims, not story paragraphs
  • Add key terms/theories you must include
⚠️ Common mistake
Lecture transcripts, copy-pasted articles, and long explanations produce “wall of text” slides.
🧾 Citation note
You don’t need APA formatting. References are auto-formatted into an APA 7 citation page on export.
Step 2

Generate Deck Now

Click Generate Deck Now. AI reads all fields together and generates a complete first-pass deck (not just an outline).

What happens

  • AI generates a full draft deck
  • A preview is rendered immediately
  • You can start editing right away
Step 2: Generate Deck Now and deck preview
Generate action → deck preview.
Step 3

Edit slide-by-slide

Select a slide on the left. Edit title + Markdown content. Add visuals (image/chart/table). Export PDF when the structure is stable.

Editing actions

  • Select a slide from the list
  • Rewrite bullets for clarity and parallel rhythm
  • Add visuals only when they support a bullet
  • Delete slides that add no evaluative value
Step 3: slide editor
Editor — refine content and add visuals slide-by-slide.
✅ Tip
AI gives structure. You give judgment. Edit decisively; don’t endlessly polish without improving rubric coverage.
Guide

Field Guide (inputs & defaults)

Use this as a quick reference instead of scanning paragraphs.

Fields

Topic One sentence. Be specific (descriptive, not catchy).
Key Notes Bullet points only. One idea per line. No paragraphs.
References (Optional) One reference per line (any format). Auto-formatted into APA 7.
Style Settings Theme / Font / Title size / Body size (global constraints; choose once).
Deck Pages 5–25. If it’s your first time: start with 5.
Rhythm 3 bullets = cleaner. 5 bullets = denser. Don’t mix in one deck.
✅ Recommended defaults for first-time presenters
Business + Calibri + 5 pages + 3 bullets
Avoid

Most first-time slides fail in two ways

These two failures are the fastest way to lose readability and rubric alignment.

Sticker chaos

Keep alignment fixed and limit visuals per slide. Every visual should justify a bullet.

Wall of text

Use bullet rhythm + slide roles. Don’t paste paragraphs and hope formatting saves it.

Export

Final check & export

Export is the last step. Don’t export while the structure is still drifting.

Before exporting

  • Titles are declarative
  • Bullets are parallel
  • No empty slides
  • Visuals align with text
🧾 References
If you provided references, a citation page is auto-generated during export (APA 7).
✅ Output

FAQ

Quick answers

Short answers to reduce back-and-forth.

Do I need a rubric?

RubricFlow works best with explicit criteria. If you don’t have one, write a quick list of evaluation points first.

Can I edit after generation?

Yes. The first draft is meant to be refined slide-by-slide.

Does it support images/charts?

Yes. Add visuals (image/chart/table) to support bullets—avoid decoration.

How does References work?

Paste one reference per line in any format. RubricFlow generates an APA 7 citation page on export.

What’s the best deck length for class presentations?

Start with 5–8 slides for a first pass. Add slides only when they increase rubric coverage.

Export formats?

PDF export is supported.
