After creating the course template and linking it with areas, it is time to add the criteria. Simply, the criterion is the subject objective. To access the criteria, click **Criteria**from the **Action **drop-down list in the table on the **Areas **page.

3. Add a description.
4. Type the pass percentage.
5. Click **Submit**.

Adding sub-criteria steps are similar to adding criteria because the sub-criteria are objectives inherited from the main ones.

**Note**: This option allows you to see whether the teacher used the criteria or not.
