Excellent
All questions answered appropriately for the purpose. The analysis of the topic is original, focused, unambiguous, and concise. The writing could serve as superior guide to the topic. The paper not only explains the topic, but goes beyond to analyze the underlying nature of the topic in an even-handed, skillful fashion. The paper makes extensive and effective use of support materials (e.g., text chapters, peer-reviewed articles, web sites, etc.), with proper citations and references. (250 words or more)

Good
Most questions answered appropriately for the purpose. The analysis of the topic is clear, and reasonably well focused. The writing could serve as accurate, basic guide to the topic or problem; that is, the writing accurately explains the topic/problem, but does not provide any substantive analysis of the topic/problem. The paper makes adequate use of support materials (e.g., text chapters, peer-reviewed articles, web sites, etc.), with minor errors in citations and references. (250 words or more)
8 pts
Acceptable
Some questions answered appropriately for the purpose. The explanation of the topic is limited, and not well focused.
