# How do I use a non-scoring rubric to assess submissions in SpeedGrader?
If you have added a non-scoring rubric to an assignment, you can assess the rubric in SpeedGrader. Non-scoring rubrics contain rating criterions without point values. Unlike regular rubrics, non-scoring rubrics are not used for grading.
Be sure you have selected the **Remove points from rubric** option when [adding a rubric to an assignment](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-rubric-to-an-assignment/ta-p/1058). *Be sure this checkbox is selected before you begin grading submissions*.
**Note**: If your rubric does not contain any predetermined rubric criteria, you should grade the rubric using [free-form comments](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-free-form-comments-instead-of-ratings-in-a-rubric/ta-p/1011).
## Open SpeedGrader
Use the [student list](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-student-list-to-view-student-submissions-in/ta-p/770) to locate a student submission.
## View Rubric
To view the entire rubric window, you may need to scroll both vertically and horizontally. To resize the rubric window, click and drag the sizing column horizontally.
## Complete Rubric
For each criterion, click the rating that applies to the student's submission \[1\].
You can also add a comment for each rubric criterion by clicking the **Comment** icon \[2\].
**Note:** To deselect a rating, click the rating assigned \[3\].
## Save Rubric
View the rubric ratings.
