The writing engages the reader

with an original approach to the

subject. It may encompass

conflicting ideas and inspires the

reader to contemplate the

relationship of complex ideas.

The writing clearly goes beyond

the minimum requirements of the

assignment. It attempts to engage

the reader through originality and

presentation of complex ideas.

The writing meets the minimum

requirements of the assignment.

It offers insight into the subject

through basic logic and the

presentation of ideas based on

some evidence.

The writing fails to meet the

minimum requirements of the

assignment. It offers little insight

into the subject and has serious

flaws in logic and omissions in

evidence.

The writing has a clearly

articulated original thesis and

subordinate ideas supported by

reliable and relevant evidence

based on original research.

The writing has a clearly

articulated thesis supported by

appropriate evidence and sound

logic. Minor gaps in logic and

argument may appear.

The writing has a clear thesis and

related subordinate ideas

supported by clear thinking and

appropriate evidence. Logical

arguments may be one-sided or

incomplete.

The writing may need a more

clearly articulated thesis and/or

appropriate related subordinate

ideas. Fuzzy logic may be evident

and adequate supporting

evidence is lacking.

The writing flows smoothly and

logically from a well-defined

thesis. It contains an appropriate

introduction, conclusion, and

smooth transitions.

The writing is organized logically

and flows well. An introduction

and conclusion are evident, but

transitions may be smoother.

The writing demonstrates

rudimentary organization and

logical structure, but ideas may be

more fully developed and

supported by more appropriate

evidence.

The writing is noticeably lacking

in organization. There is no clear

introduction nor conclusion and

ideas are neither carefully nor

fully developed. Supporting

evidence is clearly lacking.

The writing engages the reader

through an original prose style

appropriate to the subject.

Language is precise. Sentences

are varied but not noticeably so.

Active voice is apparent

The writing keeps the reader’s

attention through a carefully

crafted prose style. Language

chosen is appropriate to the

subject, but may call attention to

itself in minor ways.

The writing is clear but could be

expressed in a style more

appropriate to the subject. It is

jargon-free but may require a

more complete explanation of

some terms used.

The writing lacks clarity and is

sometimes confusing. The

language chosen is not

appropriate to the subject nor the

assignment.

The writing is free of grammatical,

proofreading, and stylistic errors.

All quoted material is properly

documented and cited. Main

ideas are not lost in surrounding

supporting evidence.

The writing may exhibit a few

minor errors in grammar or style,

but do impair the flow of the

reading. Most quoted material is

properly documented and cited.

The writing could benefit from

additional proofreading, as some

errors impede the flow of the

reading. Sources are documented

and cited but need to show

greater consistency. Additional

proofreading would help

eliminate errors

The writing exhibits substantial

errors in grammar and style so

that the basic ideas are lost.

Sources are overly quoted and

not adequately documented or

cited. There is no evidence of

proofreading, editing, or

rewriting.
