D/F (total score: 69 and below; points per question 12-below) = does not answer the question; main ideas not clearly stated and lacks focus and depth. There is no clear answer to the question. There is no evidence the student knows the answer to the question. The statement(s) is/are unclear; statements do no sound like coming from the course content and are awkward or distractingly repetitive, and difficult to understand. Most paragraphs are not in the appropriate length (5-10 sentences). Writing has numerous errors in grammar, mechanics, and/or spelling that interfere with understanding. Little or no evidence the student studied the material, lacks citation or is irrelevant.

C (79-70; points per question 13-19) =main ideas are somewhat clear; answer not clearly stated. Answer is weak and general; the answer is there but discussion lacks depth. Knowledge of the answer is limited. A few to most sentences are well constructed but lack depth and detail. Several paragraphs are in the appropriate length (5-10 sentences). Writing has several errors in grammar, mechanics, and/or spelling that do not necessarily interfere with understanding. The answer is somewhat clear and there is some evidence the student studied the material, inconsistent use of citation and somewhat irrelevant.

B (89-80; points per question 20-26) =main ideas are clear but are not well supported by detailed information (in depth discussion is lacking). The answer to the question is there but not very clear, but there is strong evidence the student knows the answer. The knowledge of the answer (topic) is evident and demonstrated in several instances but it is too general. Most sentences are well constructed. Most paragraphs are in the appropriate length (5-10 sentences). Writing has a few errors in grammar, mechanics, and/or spelling, but they do not interfere with understanding. The answer is clear but general and there is strong evidence and demonstration the student studied and knows the material, consistent use of citation and consistent relevance.

A (100-90; points per question 27-33) =main ideas are clear and well supported by detailed and accurate information (in depth discussion, in several sentences or ideas are presented). Information is relevant and presented in logical order and there is no doubt the student learned the material. There is very strong evidence the student knows that material. Most or all the paragraphs are in the appropriate length (5-10 sentences). Most or all the sentences are well constructed and have isolated errors in grammar, mechanics, and/or spelling. The answer is clear and there is very strong evidence the student studied and knows the material and can use the information learned, consistent use of citation and highly relevant.
