Logical arguments may be  one-sided or incomplete. 10/10 The  writing has a clearly articulated thesis supported by appropriate  evidence and sound logic. Minor gaps in logic and argument may appear. 15/15 The  writing has a clearly articulated original thesis and subordinate ideas  supported by reliable and relevant evidence based on original research. 20/20   Organization 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. 5/5 The  writing demonstrates rudimentary organization and logical structure,  but ideas may be more fully developed and supported by more appropriate  evidence. 10/10 The writing is organized logically and flows well. An introduction and conclusion are evident, but transitions may be smoother. 15/15 The  writing flows smoothly and logically from a well-defined thesis. It  contains an appropriate introduction, conclusion, and smooth  transitions. 20/20   Style The writing lacks clarity and is sometimes confusing. The language chosen is not appropriate to the subject nor the assignment. 5/5 The  writing is clear but could be expressed in a style more appropriate to  the subject. It is jargon-free but may require a complete explanation of  some terms used. 10/10 The  writing keeps the reader’s attention through a carefully crafted prose  style. The language chosen is appropriate to the subject, but may call  attention to itself in minor ways. 15/15 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. 20/20   Mechanics/Syntax/Grammar The  writing exhibits substantial errors in grammar and style so that the  basic ideas are lost.  Sources are overly quoted and not adequately  documented nor cited. 5/5 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. 10/10 The  writing may exhibit a few minor errors in grammar or style, but do  impair the flow of the reading. Most of the quoted material is properly  documented and cited. 15/15 The writing is free of grammatical, proofreading, and stylistic errors. All quoted material is properly documented and cited. 20/20   APA format There are no resources cited. 2.5/2.5 References and in-text citations are included, but both are formatted incorrectly. 5/5 Either  References or in-text citations are formatted incorrectly, or too much  of the content is quoted or paraphrased, resulting in little original  work.  7.5/7.5 References  and in-text citations are included, appropriate and formatted  correctly.  Enough of the content is created by the student. 10/10   Timeliness and Format Assignment is not handed in by deadline and file name is not labeled using guidelines provided   2.5/2.5 Assignment is either not submitted by the due date or is not labeled correctly. 5/5 Assignment is turned in by the due date and is labeled correctly. 10/10
