Preparing the argument:

Before it makes a claim, your argument should offer an original title appropriate for an academic audience. Your argument also should pave the way to its claim with an effective introduction written in either the narrative or analytical style.

/10

Making a claim:

Good claims are sufficiently narrow, controversial, and able to be proved by way of logic and evidence. Also, good claims should not appear in a vacuum; support your claim with reasons that clarify for you and your reader where you will head in the body of this essay.

/10

Paragraphing:

Effective body paragraphs advance a single point or main idea in support of an essay’s claim. Effective body paragraphs also showcase a writer’s command of parallel structure. Finally, strong paragraphs use the PIE approach, evidencing their points fully while moving between different kinds of evidence fluidly.

/10

Evidence:

In the body of your essay, you must ground your claim (and likely back your warrant). This means offering personal experience, anecdotal evidence, statements from authority, and facts and statistics effectively. Note: failure to meet source requirements will result in a zero in this category.

/10

Source integration:

An effective essay summarizes, paraphrases, and quotes sources accurately and honestly, and uses source material to advance its writer’s argument. In addition, good source integration demands that a writer clearly identify whose language belongs to whom, preparing the reader for and managing transitions between voices.

/10

Documentation:

Your essay should use MLA- style documentation, which means that all sources much be cited in the body of your text when appropriate, as well as in a works-cited page or references page.

/10

Clarity and command of language:

Your prose should be clear, concise, and free from grammatical errors and punctuation mistakes. Note: 10 or more errors will result in a zero in this category.

/10

Audience awareness:

Different audiences place different demands upon a writer relevant to tone, word choice, level of formality, and what will “count” as appropriate and sufficient evidence. Strong writers define their audiences, and meet or exceed those audiences’ expectations.

/10

Adherence to line of argument:

Different lines of argument (or “rhetorical genres”) fulfill different functions. In turn, different lines of argument place different demands on their writers in terms of structure and evidence, among other issues. Strong essays will show command of the lines of argument in which they are working.

/10

Writing process:

Effective writers brainstorm, draft, revise, and seek feedback on their work. Note: failure to fully apply oneself and complete all required materials during peer reviews will result in a zero in this category.
