CRITERIA NEEDS IMPROVEMENT
Minimum Points SATISFACTORY
Medium Points EXCEPTIONAL
Maximum Points
CONTENT
(50%) The writer does not demonstrate a cursory understanding of subject matter, and the purpose of the paper is not stated. The objective, therefore, is not addressed and supporting materials are not correctly referenced.
FEWER THAN 20 POINTS The writer demonstrates a limited understanding of the subject matter in that theories are not well connected to a practical experience or appropriate examples, though the attempt to research the topic is evident, and materials are correctly referenced.
20 to 40 POINTS The writer demonstrates an understanding of the subject matter by clearly stating the objective of the paper and links theories to practical experience. The paper includes relevant material that is correctly referenced, and this material fulfills the objective of the paper.
41 to 50 POINTS
ORGANIZATION
(20%) Paragraphs do not focus around a central point, and concepts are disjointedly introduced or poorly defended (i.e., stream of consciousness).
FEWER THAN 8 POINTS Topics/content could be organized in a more logical manner. Transitions from one idea to the next are often disconnected and uneven.
8 to 16 POINTS The writer focuses on ideas and concepts within paragraphs, and sentences are well-connected and meaningful. Each topic logically follows the objective. The introduction clearly states the objective or ideas leading to the purpose of the paper, and a conclusion draws the ideas together.
17 to 20 POINTS

punctuation are consistently incorrect. Spelling errors are numerous.

with word usage (e.g., evidence of incorrect use of Thesaurus) and punctuation persists, often causing difficulties with grammar.
The writer demonstrates the correct usage of formal English language in sentence construction. Variation in sentence structure and word usage promotes
readability. There are no spelling, punctuation, or word usage errors.
CLARITY & STYLE

Some words, transitional phrases, and conjunctions are overused. Ideas may be overstated, and sentences with limited contribution to the subject are
included.
The reading audience is correctly identified, demonstrated by appropriate language usage (i.e., avoiding jargon and simplifying complex concepts
appropriately). Writing is concise, in the active voice, and avoids awkward transitions and overuse of conjunctions.
