What type of scoring examines criteria one at a time?

Analytic scoring is the correct type of scoring that examines criteria one at a time. This method breaks down the evaluation into specific components or criteria, allowing for a more detailed analysis of each aspect of a student's performance. For example, in an writing assignment, a teacher may score separately on criteria such as organization, grammar, content, and style. By focusing on each criterion individually, teachers can provide detailed feedback on strengths and areas for improvement, which can enhance students’ understanding and skills.

In contrast, holistic scoring evaluates the overall performance as a single entity rather than dissecting the work into its individual parts. Subjective scoring can vary widely based on personal opinions, and while it may include elements of analytic scoring, it does not strictly focus on examining each criterion separately. Objective scoring typically relies on clear right-or-wrong answers or standardized measures, which is not the same as the detailed criteria-based approach of analytic scoring.
