Reaction Paper on Group Home Intern
PSYC 499
Reaction Paper Rubric
The following template was designed for you , the student, in an attempt to provide a large amount of feedback for your reaction paper. You will see below all the areas that were objectively and thoroughly considered in the grading process, and how your performance was judged in each of these areas. Also, please notice that this is an additive, not subtractive method of grading. Therefore, instead of beginning with 100% and losing points for errors, students begin with 0% and earn points for the work they submit. The following template is a guideline for grading. The professor reserves the right to raise/lower a student’s final grade if it is believed template values have not credited assignment worth appropriately.
