| An "A" Paper/Presentations | Clear and effective content, well matched to the chosen subject. Virtually error free in execution. Both easy to follow and persuasive. |
| A "B" Paper/Presentation | Above average in both content and execution. Minor problems in presentation or transition, but still offers strong thesis development and audience focus. Minimal errors, such as typos, causing slight interference in effectiveness. |
| A "C" Paper/Presentation | Average in both content and execution. Improvements could be made in many areas, but author has made minimal effort to structure and present the paper appropriately. Difficult to follow but still functional. |
| A "D" Paper/Presentation | Missing important elements of both content and execution. Lacks focus and logic. Errors make the assignment very difficult to follow. Needs more process and hard work. |
| An "F" Paper/Presentation | Unacceptable work without consideration of content or execution. Errors make the project impossible to follow . Important parts of the assignment are missing. Author may have misunderstood assignment. |
Of course, the grading of work in a writing course is subjective. I
welcome any questions or comments you have regarding evaluation before
or after your assignments have been graded. Please hold onto your graded
papers in case we need to review them in later discussions.
