- content: the material you use (evidence, background information)
- development: how you develop/explain your argument in order for the reader to understand your position
- organization: the actual placement/order of your sentences
- meaning: your undertanding of the topic (complacency, negative impacts, the books, the plots)
- conventions: proper in-text citations, indenting, underlining titles, spelling, grammar, proper paper format
Meaning, content and development usually outweigh the other categories. They are most important.
The 1 to 6 scale is as follows:
1= does not have this component
2= has this element minimally but is poor or confused
3= has the element but needs better use
4= has the component satisfactorily but does not show greater understanding
5= is better than satisfactory and could use minimal improvement
6= has completed thoroughly and thoughfully with little to no confusion or error
what if you have more than one sentence based on one page? do you put ( Hesse _) for each sentence or at the end?
ReplyDeleteActually, I'd imagine you would complete your context/negative effect first, then put the page numbers at the end. For example, if my context was 5 sentences long, I would write it out then cite, (Hesse 40-45). Putting it at the end of every sentence would be annoying.
