The paper examines whether Mixtral can score middle-school science responses using criteria aligned with human rubrics. It prompts the model to generate item-level analytic rubrics and compares them with human-written criteria. With analytic-rubric examples plus a holistic rubric, rubric-alignment F1 was 0.752 and accuracy was 54.58%, versus 34.83% without analytic rubrics. These findings concern one model and twelve science items.
