From the syllabus:

An “A” essay is well organized. specific. clearly written. and has a strong thesis. Strong organization requires focused paragraphs with specific support
following a clear overall structure with each topic sentence supporting the central thesis.

A “B” essay is well organized and has a clear thesis. but may be less specific in its examples. or less clear in its presentation and language.

A “C” essay is average college-level writing. It is organized. but the paragraph structure might be too loose (long unfocused paragraphs. for example). or the
language unclear. The thesis is present. but might be too broad or too simple for a sustained analysis-

A “D” paper may have problems with the thesis. organization. or language throughout the essay.

An “F” paper would have problems with more than one of these issues.
