PURPOSE: This rubric evaluates substantial, argument-driven, out-of-class papers. Typically such papers develop a thesis in which students build a case for a particular analysis, interpretation, or evaluation of data/readings that leads to recommendations or specific conclusions. OPENING: A) thesis/purpose/argument: primary argument B) organizational statement/framework (set of statements): description of how the argument will proceed4. Extremely Effective3. Effective2. Adequate1. InadequateA) thesis/ purpose/ argumentFully articulates primary argument in fully explained, relevant context at the beginning of the paper. Paper follows through fully with stated thesis and demonstrates substantial critical analysis of subject that is not over-simplified. Generally articulates primary argument in its general context at the beginning of the paper. Paper follows through generally with stated thesis, offers some critical analysis, and is not over-simplified.Vaguely or partially articulates primary argument with minimal context in the paper. Paper may not or may partially follow through with stated thesis. Often, papers offer little or no critical analysis of the subject and present over-simplified thinking.May not articulate primary argument or provide context anywhere in the paper. Follow through is not discernible. Subject may simply be summarized with no critical analysis. If analysis is present it is over-simplified and incomplete.B) organizational statementPresents a clear and direct statement/framework located in the beginning of paper that demonstrates how the argument will track the fundamental, secondary, and implied problems/questions/issues. Readers should be able to anticipate how and why the paper will proceed as it does. Presents a general statement /framework located in the beginning of the paper that demonstrates how the argument will track the fundamental, secondary, and implied problems/questions/ issues. Readers should be able to anticipate how the argument will proceed as it does, although reasons why it does so may be impliedPresents a vague or partial statement/framework located somewhere within the first few pages of the paper that demonstrates how the argument will track the fundamental, secondary, and implied problems/questions/issues. Readers may have to infer how the paper will proceed as it does, but may not find why it is organized.Presents no organizational statement/framework. Readers are not able to infer how and why the paper will proceed as it does. ARGUMENT: C) reasoning: depth and complexity of thought D) evidence: data/quotations/visuals and counterarguments 4. Extremely Effective3. Effective2. Adequate1. InadequateC) reasoningExhibits substantial depth, fullness, and complexity of thought supported by sophisticated ideas/analysis and carefully chosen evidence that support the papers thesis and demonstrates substantial comprehension of material presented. Thinking expresses views without discriminatory, socially offensive, or illogical thinking. Exhibits a preponderance of depth, fullness, and complexity of thought, though reasoning and evidence may not be uniformly conclusive and convincing. Demonstrates general compre-hension of material presented. Thinking expresses views without discriminatory, socially offensive, or illogical thinking.Exhibits very little depth, fullness, and complexity of thought; a reasoned response, but the reasoning and presentation of evidence may be somewhat simplistic and/or repetitive. Demonstrates some comprehension of material presented. Thinking may express slightly discriminatory, socially offensive, and/or illogical views.Exhibits no depth, fullness, and complexity of thought; lacks clear reasoning, and supporting ideas, or evidence may be contradictory, repetitive, or inadequately linked to the thesis. Demonstrates little or no comprehension of material presented. Thinking often expresses discriminatory, socially offensive, and/or illogical views. D) evidenceSeamlessly incorporates and explains the accuracy and relevance of data/ quotations/paraphrases/visuals; offers evidence from a variety of sources, including counterarguments/contrary evidence. No evidence is perfunctory.Incorporates and examines data/ quotations/paraphrases/ visuals; offers evidence from some sources, and may have counterarguments/ contrary evidence. Evidence is seldom perfunctory. Incorporates data/ quotations/ paraphrases/visuals without much explanation, and offers limited evidence with no counterarguments/ contrary evidence. Evidence is typically perfunctory.Incorporates little or no data//quotations/ paraphrases/visuals nor corresponding explanation, and fails to address counterarguments/ contrary evidence. ORGANIZATION AND STRUCTURE: E) rhetorical structure: transitions, headers, bullets, and other structural indicators appropriate to the discipline4. Extremely Effective3. Effective2. Adequate1. InadequateE) rhetorical structureThe arguments focus is abundantly clear to the reader, and paragraphs logically and coherently build upon each other through the complete and fluent use of transitions and/or headings. The arguments focus is generally clear to the reader and the use of transitions lends a sense of progression and coherence.The arguments focus is unclear to the reader. Some, mostly formulaic, transitions are used, providing little or no sense of direction.Transitions and sense of progression are absent. CONCLUSION: F) implications and consequences: importance of claims and future possibilities in conclusion 4. Extremely Effective3. Effective2. Adequate1. InadequateF) Implications and consequencesOffers a clear and varied reframing of argument. Identifies, discusses, and extends conclusions, implications, consequences, and/or future research possibilities. Considers context, assumptions, data, and evidence. No oversimplification present. Contributes new reflections or thinking.Offers some nuanced restatement of argument. Identifies some implications, some consequences, and/or some future research possibilities. Considers some context, assumptions, data, or evidence. May offer one minor oversimplification, but contributes something new to the argument. Simply restates argument with little or no reflection on implications or consequences. Rarely considers context, assumptions, data, or evidence. Often oversimplified and typically does not add anything new. Offers a partial or poor restatement of argument. Fails to identify conclusions, implications or consequences. Does not consider context, assumptions, data, or evidence. Is oversimplified and usually incomplete with nothing new added. DISCIPLINARY CONCERNS: G) academic tone: specialized terms and concepts H) disciplinary conventions: document format, including in-text citations, works cited, bibliography, references4. Extremely Effective3. Effective2. Adequate1. InadequateG) academic toneTone is mature, consistent, and suitable for topic and audience. Uses specialized terms accurately and consistently.Tone is usually appropriate. Specialized terms usually used, often consistently.Tone may have inconsistencies in tense and person and may lapse at times to colloquial discourse. Specialized terms, if present, are used superficially. Tone is superficial and stereotypical; oral rather than written language patterns predominate. Specialized terms, when present, are typically misused.H) disciplinary conventionsFully adheresto disciplinary conventions genre, format (includingparagraphing, titles, identifying information), document design, and presentation of graphs, tables, and images. Cites and formats sources accurately and consistently and provides appropriate and complete works cited/ bibliography/ references and footnote/endnotes.Generally adheres to disciplinary conventions appropriate genre, format (includingparagraphing, titles, identifying information), document design, and presentation of graphs, tables, and images. Cites and formats sources consistently and provides appropriate works cited/ bibliography/ references and footnote/ endnotes. Some errors or flaws are present.Attempted, but awkward and inappropriate adherence to disciplinary genre, format (includingparagraphing, titles, identifying information), document design, and presentation of graphs, tables, and images. Cites some sources but often inaccurately. May neglect to include works cited page or to cite some sources altogether. References typically present, but inaccurate.Fails to adhere to disciplinary genre, format (includingparagraphing, titles, identifying information), document design, and presentation of graphs, tables, images. Little or no use of citation formats. GRAMMAR AND SYNTAX: I) mechanics: sentence-level patterns of error (e.g. comma splices, run-on sentences, subject/verb agreement) J) clarity: in sentence structure K) style: sentence variety4. Extremely Effective3. Effective2. Adequate1. InadequateI) mechanicsContains virtually no sentence level errors.Contains infrequent sentence level errors; a few patterns of error may be present.Contains wide range of errors, including several patterns that do not impede comprehension. Contains consistent error patterns that impede comprehension. J) claritySentences consistently phrase thoughts clearly.Sentences usually phrase thoughts clearly. Sentences may, at times, be wordy and contain unclear phrasing and vocabulary. Sentences are frequently wordy and contain unclear phrasing and vocabulary. K) styleSentences are varied, convincing, nuanced, and eloquent and rarely if ever simplistic.Sentences are generally varied and convincing, although occasionally simplistic. May, at times, be nuanced and eloquent.Sentences may not be varied or convincing. And are often simplistic.
