I create a lot of rubrics, and I am constantly balancing the line between adding too much detail to the rubric and not enough. We have instructions in the assignment as far as requirements for the paper, and those should guide the students through the rubric, but should I put all main points addressed under content, or is it better to break down into the main points so that better feedback can be left? I tend to go more generic because I do not teach the classes in which I create the rubrics. This allows instructors to interpret the rubric somewhat and provide feedback that is specific to each student.
