Rubric for Written Assignments
A (90-100) The essay is exceptional in every way. The essay is well organized and all claims are supported. It begins with a solid introduction, is followed by body paragraphs that contain clear topic sentences with clear and detailed support, and ends with an effective conclusion. Content is thorough and lacking in no area. There are no (or few) errors in tone, format, mechanics, grammar, and content. APA citation and writing conventions are followed virtually error free.
B (80-89) The essay is above adequate in most areas. In the areas where it is not above adequate, it is still entirely acceptable. The majority of the essay is clear, focused, and well detailed, but there may be a few areas requiring further development. While it may contain a few errors with tone, mechanics, grammar, and/or content, these errors are not egregious enough to detract from the overall point presented. APA citation and writing conventions are largely followed with some errors present.
C (70-79) The essay is adequate in most areas but exceptional in none. The writing is clear although lacking in both control and command. Organization may be problematic but can be fixed. The paragraphs provide support but are generally underdeveloped. There may be multiple errors in tone, format, mechanics, grammar, and content, but these errors do not, for the most part, detract from the overall writing. APA citation and writing conventions are not consistently followed.
F (0-69) The essay is lacking in a majority of areas. It is generally unorganized and unfocused. The writing is not clear in a significant portion of the essay. Most of the essay is underdeveloped. There are frequent errors in tone, format, mechanics, grammar, and/or content that distract from the content being provided and understood. There are significant problems throughout the written product. APA citation and writing conventions contain significant errors or is not followed. The failing paper can have a wide range of gradations on the issues mentioned above.
