All essays and exams will be graded on the following 7 rubric criteria:

Focus/Thesis: Understanding of the assignment and articulating a clear hypothesis
Content/Subject Knowledge: demonstrating deep subject knowledge and understanding the readings
Critical Thinking Skills: strategic approach to problem solving, well argued ideas and conclusions, demonstration of logical and fact-based reasoning, demonstrating well-planned research and usage of sources
Organization of Ideas/Format: demonstration of a unique, original, or imaginative approach to the thesis, clearly organized argumentation, articulated assumptions, appropriate introduction, paragraphs, conclusions, and citations
Writing Conventions: following the Turabian style guide and rules of grammar
Use of Technology: demonstrated excellent proficiency in technology tools (mapping, charts, graphs, figures, etc.)

Further, the following criteria apply:

Every assignment must have a clear thesis statement, as the last sentence of the introductory paragraph. Any paper without a thesis statement will receive no higher than a grade of “C”.
The thesis must be original, not self-evident, and demonstrate creativity and critical thinking in order for the paper to receive a grade higher than a “C”.
Every body paragraph must start with a topic sentence in the author’s own words. The topic sentence is like a mini-thesis, relating back to the main thesis, and will be the focus of that paragraph. The first sentence of a paragraph may NOT be a quote or paraphrase.
Papers without significant analysis will receive no higher than a grade of “C”.
First/second person is NOT permitted in any assignment. Any paper using first/second person will receive no higher than a grade of “C”.
Avoid use of indefinite words like “it” or “they” unless it is absolutely clear what subject each pertains

An “A” paper typically includes the following elements:

You must provide outstanding contribution on the seven criteria above
You must have at least five resources referenced
