|||
|
This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome Selection & Integration of Evidence Writer selects powerful, relevant evidence from sources, such as summary, quotation, or paraphrase, and uses them to support his or her own ideas or questions. Writer summarizes ideas/concepts from sources to offer context for readers not familiar with the sources. Writer demonstrates effective use of signal phrases and end citations with each quotation, paraphrase, or summary of sources.

|||
|
This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome Development & Complexity Writer engages in sustained analysis (answering questions like how, why, and so what?) as claims and evidence are discussed. Writer clarifies what is at stake in the discussion or why an issue/idea matters (the implications and consequences of the essays main claim or question). Writer shows awareness of, and anticipates, audience response. Writers argument develops and evolves as the essay progresses. |
|||
|
This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome Organization & Progression Writers introduction effectively leads readers into the complex claim or question the paper will examine. Writers organization moves back and forth between evidence and claims that connect to each other and to the main claim or question guiding the paper. Writers conclusion culminates the discussion appropriately by pursuing implications or answers to so what? The ending avoids unnecessary repetition and/or summary of the paper, and leaves readers still thinking. |
|||
|
This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome Expression & Conventions Writers essay shows strong command of the conventions of Standard Written English. Care is shown with spelling, sentences, and punctuation (evidence of proofreading and editing). Writer edits and crafts for clarity, coherence, and/or emphasis. Clear transitions connect paragraphs and sentences. Writer shows an awareness of audience and establishes a tone that is consistent with the writings rhetorical context and purpose. Writer shows care in formatting, including in-text citations and other requirements of the specified documentation style (e.g., works cited page). |
|||
|
This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome Analysis & Critical Thinking Writer explores central idea through thoughtful analysis and reflection. Analysis might include one or more of the following: exploring a significant tension, considering multiple perspectives, considering implications and/or assumptions in a text or idea, applying a text or theory as a lens, and/or asking questions that help the writer understand his or her topic more fully. Writer uses evidence to set up his/her own ideas/claims/questions and maintains a conversation with the sources, instead of just dropping quotes, facts, or expert opinions without commentary or analysis. Writer demonstrates willingness to consider and engage alternate viewpoints (if appropriate). |
