Criteria for Grade on Each Assignment.
A – Outstanding
The document more than meets the criteria for the assignment
and demonstrates sensitivity to the context
The document addresses the right audience and meets that audience's
needs
The content is worthwhile, rich, accurate, and complete
The organization emphasizes what's important, makes information
easily accessible, motivates the right audience response, sorts
the familiar from the new and begins with the familiar
The style is readable, fluid, appropriate, and correct in grammar
and mechanic
The format and design are engaging and enhance content
B – Good
The document meets the criteria for the assignment but requires
minor improvements in content or organization or style or design
C – Satisfactory
The document meets the criteria for the assignment-but only
minimally. It needs a new organizational plan to make its information
accessible. It covers the topic only superficially. The text is
hard to read and demonstrates serious errors in mechanics or grammar.
D – Just passing
The document only meets some of the criteria, its content is
barely adequate, and it demonstrates major errors in mechanics and
format.
F – Failure
The document doesn't meet the criteria of the assignment, is
weak in content, and contains major and excessive errors.
