Use interlibrary loan services as needed.5.     Formulate an assertion about a given issue and support that assertion with evidence appropriate to the issue, position taken, and given audience.Develop effective, e.g., conceptually rich, logical, and judiciously qualified, thesis statements and concluding paragraphs.Synthesize ideas from multiple sources.Evaluate and use supporting evidence while maintaining academic integrity.Integrate quotations, paraphrases, and summaries in research-based writing proficiently.6.     Demonstrate proficiency in the use of the conventions of language and forms of discourse, including grammar, syntax, punctuation, spelling, and mechanics.Correctly identify, name, and discuss the nature of errors and their correction: parallel structure, conciseness & clarity, word choice, sentence combiningSelf-correct errors with the support of a handbook or textbook.7.     Use conventions of format and structure appropriate to the rhetorical situation and audience.Apply MLA style, including parenthetical references and Works Cited page, and MLA manuscript format to essays.<br />WRIT101 Rubric - 2005<br />Benefits: It's a bouncing, baby rubric! <br />Drawbacks: privileges superficial qualities; relatively subjective; relatively mean; no models of student writing included; no distinction between writing requiring source use (which we consider more complex) and personal writing (which we consider less technical and often more difficult)<br />English 121--Uniform Essay Grading Criteria<br />“A” Criteria --An excellent Essay--All of the criteria below must be present<br />,[object Object]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/nisod-handouts-100601003138-phpapp02/85/handout-assessment-like-revision-is-recursive-1-320.jpg)

Handout - "Assessment, Like Revision, Is Recursive"
- 5. Complex body
- 7. The essay is rich with detail
- 8. Language. The language and style is distinctive. Word choice is convincing and vivid. The details are clearly expressed with significant impact.
- 9. Mechanics. Standard usage of the language is clearly evident. Punctuation, spelling and usage are correct. Sentences are clear and complex.
- 10. Organization. This is a tight organized, fully united work. There are no digressions or wanderings. Topic sentences in paragraphs are clear and transitions are present. Logic prevails.
- 12. The Introduction is lacking in pizzazz.
- 13. The thesis may be flat.
- 14. The body paragraphs, while present, may be simplistic rather than complex and elegant.
- 15. The conclusion may be there, but pro-forma – ie. “In conclusion”.
- 17. The title is trite or missing.
- 18. The introduction is flat.
- 19. The thesis is ambiguous and needs to be more specifically narrowed.
- 20. The body paragraphs lack rich detail and topic sentences are vague or missing.
- 21. The conclusion is weak.
- 22. Language. Details are present but not well explained. The style is pedestrian and word choice is ordinary or clichéd.
- 23. Mechanics. Standard English usage is there, but somewhat haphazard. Pattern errors are evident. Sentences are short and somewhat choppy. There are no more than an average of two mistakes per page in punctuation, grammar, spelling, usage and agreement.
- 24. Organization. The structure waffles off target. Digressions occur. Topic sentences are weak or missing. Developmental details are missing. Paragraphs are short.
- 26. The introduction is either missing or does not appear to connect with the essay.
- 27. The reader has no idea what is forthcoming.
- 28. Title is generic or not present.
- 29. The thesis is missing.
- 30. There is a scattered body with little detail.
- 31. There is no logical conclusion.
- 32. Language. Word choice is vague. Generalities abound. Ambiguity dominates. No precise use of language/style elements. Non-sequitur present.
- 33. Mechanics. Mechanics are incorrect to the point that they interfere with reader’s comprehension. Run-ons, fragments and comma splices are frequent.
- 34. Organization. The paragraphs do not support a missing thesis. There is no true discussion. Paragraphs lack topic sentences. Paragraphs do not connect with the introduction and adequate paragraph development is absent.
