All assignments should be graded via a grade rubric that is provided to students the first day of the course. Having a detailed course rubric
at the start of the course not only provides students with a clear set of expectations for each assignment, but provides the instructor a defensible position when grading assignment. While most students will preview the rubric before tackling an assignment, some go forth without ever really knowing how their work will be assessed. When a student disputes a poor grade, I always return them back to the rubric that was posted the first day of course - and that extinguishes any claim of "I never knew what you wanted for this assignment."
