Convert a table rubric into a fillable, scorable form

Question

Hello,I have a grading rubric (created in Word) in table form that must be converted into a fillable, scorable form. Ideally, users can click the box on the table that corresponds to the score they want to give for each item. The form would them calculate the total score. Is this possible?  Thanks! The form looks like this:

Yes, this is possible, but can be problematic.

Normally this sort of feature would be implemented with radio buttons or a dropdown. In that case the radiobutton exports would be the values 1-5, which could be added together with a simple calculation. No scripting necessary.

But I'm thinking that your setup will require some kind of highlighting strategy for the selected table cell. Implementing such a solution will use potentially complicated scripts that will not work on mobile devices, which is ok if you know that the form will always be filled out on a desktop using Acobat Reader/Pro.

Otherwise your best approach is to redesign the form to use radio buttons or dropdowns.
