PHE 350 – Spring 2024 Final Team Paper Grading Rubric

Note: All team members must demonstrate engagement and participation in the final paper, including actual writing. Individuals who show substantially low levels of engagement and/or writing will lose points for participation. Students who do not participate at all will earn a zero for the final paper.

When reading your papers and assigning points per the grading criteria, I will be asking the following questions to determine the number of points awarded per section:

• Organization o Is the paper structured so that it is easy to follow? o Is there a clear thesis/premise guiding the paper? o Is the paper clearly presented with the use of appropriate headings?

• Thoroughness o Does the paper have a well-grounded basis for the conclusions drawn? o Are the facts appropriately supported via citations?

• Accuracy o Are the statements factual? o Is the literature summarized completely and correctly? o Are the facts attributed to the citations correctly?

• Logical Flow o Do the conclusions follow the evidence presented in the paper?

• Clarity o Is the purpose of the paper clear? o Is the paper grammatically correct and free of spelling errors? o Are citations constructed using APA citation format?
