Competencies

1.1: Create oral, written, or visual communications appropriate to the audience, purpose, and context.

4 points

Key Criteria: Tailors communication to purpose, context, and target audience. Clearly articulates the thesis and purpose, and supports the thesis and purpose with authentic and appropriate evidence. Provides smooth transitions and leaves no awkward gaps from point to point. Shows coherent progress from the introduction to the conclusion with no unnecessary sections.

3 points

Key Criteria: Tailors communication to purpose, context, and target audience. Articulates the thesis and purpose, and supports the thesis and purpose with authentic and appropriate evidence. Generally provides smooth transitions and leaves few awkward gaps from point to point. Shows identifiable progress from the introduction to the conclusion with no unnecessary sections.

2 points

Key Criteria: Considers the purpose, context, and target audience. Articulates the thesis and purpose, and shows some evidence supporting both. Some transitions are not smooth, and there are occasional gaps or awkward connections from point to point. There is a sense of progress from the introduction through the conclusion, but the organization may not be completely clear.

1 point

Key Criteria: Does not tailor communication well in terms of purpose, context, and target audience. Provides a weak thesis, unclear purpose, and little or no evidence to support points. Transitions may be rough or nonexistent, and there are significant gaps or connections between points that leave sections incomprehensible. Progress from the introduction through the conclusion is difficult to decipher, and there may be some material that is unrelated to thesis and purpose.

0 points

Key Criteria: Does not tailor communication in terms of purpose, context, and target audience. Lacks a good thesis and has little or no evidence to support a thesis. Transitions are rough or nonexistent, and there are few discernable connections from point to point. There is no identifiable progress from the introduction through the conclusion, and/or there is substantial material that is unrelated to thesis and purpose.

1.2: Communicate using appropriate writing conventions, including spelling, grammar, mechanics, word choice, and format.

4 points

Uses a format that is highly appropriate to the writing task and carefully tailors the style and tone to the specific audience. Aligns both the writing style and grammar usage to standards appropriate to the task.

3 points

Uses a format that is appropriate to the writing task and tailors the style and tone to the specific audience. Aligns both the writing style and grammar usage to standards appropriate to the task.

2 points

Generally has a clear purpose, but there may be a gap between the format used and the writing task. Fails to fully align the style and tone to the audience, or fails to fully define the audience for the writing task. Has some style or grammar errors and may not be well aligned to standards appropriate to the task.

1 point

Lacks an appropriate format for the writing task and fails to align the style and tone, giving the sense that the audience for the writing task is not identified or misidentified. Features so many errors in writing style and grammar usage that communication is obscured.

0 points

Uses a completely inappropriate format for the writing task, or the intentional use of format is impossible to discern. The work fails to align with the task or identify the audience. Features so many egregious errors in writing style and grammar usage that there is little or no communication.

1.3: Incorporate credible and relevant sources in development and support of ideas.

4 points

Meaningfully supports, extends, and informs the author's original thesis or idea using a variety of credible sources. Evaluates information in the writing for credibility, bias, quality of evidence, and quality of reasoning, and smoothly integrates an appropriate balance of original content with supporting sources.

3 points

Supports, extends, and informs the author's original thesis or idea using a number of credible sources. Evaluates information in the writing for credibility, bias, quality of evidence, and quality of reasoning, and integrates an appropriate balance of original content with supporting sources.

2 points

1 point

Uses few sources to support and inform the author's original thesis or idea, and the sources that are used may be irrelevant. No evidence that source information has been evaluated for credibility, bias, quality of evidence, or quality of reasoning, and lacks smooth integration of sources. Substantially lacks balance of original content with supporting sources.

0 points

Lacks sources to support and inform the author's thesis or idea. Fails to evaluate information for credibility, bias, quality of evidence, or quality of reasoning.

1.4: Make clear the relationship between information obtained from others and content created by you, and attribute all sources ethically and legally.

4 points

Accurately and appropriately identifies sources and distinguishes them from original content. Conveys source content using summary, paraphrase, and quotes as most appropriate to the task, and maintains an excellent balance of each. Cites sources correctly in accordance with disciplinary conventions.

3 points

2 points

Makes an effort to distinguish between original content and sources, but there may be a few places where the distinction is unclear. Attempts to summarize, paraphrase, or use quotes as appropriate to the task, but there may be an overabundance or under use of quotes. Attempts to cite all sources correctly in accordance with disciplinary conventions, but there may be lapses or gaps in citation.

1 point

Fails to distinguish between between original content and sources or the distinction is obscured. Uses few instances of summary, paraphrase, or direct quotes, and cited sources are substantially incorrect.

0 points

Fails to distinguish between original content and sources. Shows no effort to summarize, paraphrase, or quote material. Fails to cite sources, or cites sources that are not related to the work.

3.3: Use quantitative data (e.g., equations, functions, graphs, diagrams, tables, or words) as evidence to support ideas.

4 points

Provides clean and error-free prepared data. Eliminates or corrects all incorrect values, excluded criteria, duplicate cases, missing data, and other outliers. Includes appropriate variables for analysis. Employs appropriate formulas and search criteria. Output is error-free and accurate, and subsequent analyses and representations are correct and can be relied upon for decision making

3 points

Provides mostly clean and error-free prepared data. Eliminates or corrects most incorrect values, excluded criteria, duplicate cases, missing data, and other outliers. For the most part, includes appropriate variables for analysis. Employs mostly appropriate formulas and search criteria. Output contains some errors and minor inaccuracies. Subsequent analyses and representations contain some errors, but are still fairly reliable for decision making.

2 points

Provides prepared data with some errors, and includes some incorrect values, excluded criteria, duplicate cases, or missing data. Includes variables for analysis, but some may not be completely appropriate; similarly, formulas and search criteria are employed, but some may not be appropriate for the task. The resulting output contains errors and some inaccuracies. Subsequent analyses and representations contain errors, making them less reliable for decision making.

1 point

Provides data that is not clean and error-free. Provides data that includes incorrect values, excluded criteria, duplicate cases, missing data, and/or other outliers that have not been corrected or eliminated. Omits many or most of the appropriate variables for analysis. Includes formulas and search criteria that may be inappropriate to the task. The resulting output has many errors and inaccuracies and is not sufficient to support required decisions.

0 points

Data, if provided at all, is not clean and error-free. Includes incorrect values, excluded criteria, duplicate cases, missing data, and/or other outliers that have not been corrected or eliminated. Provides few, if any, variables for analysis, or provides variables that are inappropriate. The formulas and search criteria may be inappropriate to the task. The resulting output has many errors and inaccuracies and is not sufficient to support required decisions.

4 points

Produces a team communication plan that indicates a strong commitment to a coherent project that distributes the work strategically and fairly.
