Content & Development

Poor

Title and introduction are incomplete, unclear, or not related to topic. Content is severely underdeveloped or inappropriate given the assignment.
Fair

Title and introduction adequately set up the essay, but may lack creativity. Essay feels short on content or repetitive, not enough depth to argument. May rely too heavily on other sources.
Good

Adequate title. Opener recognizes opposing view, but either too much / too little time is spent summarizing the opposition. Essay close to required length, but may come up slightly short.
Excellent

Inviting title. Very well-developed opener that alerts the reader that the author is writing against an opposing view. Meets 4-page min. or goes beyond; writing is insightful.
Drafting Process

Poor

Good

Writer participated in conferences and peer review, but substantial improvement is not apparent in the final draft.
Excellent

Writer participated in both the mandatory first-draft conference and second-draft peer review. Demonstrates clear and marked improvement from first to final draft.

Fair

Poor

Writing is confusing and hard to follow. Contains fragments and/or run-on sentences. Inappropriate diction or tone, given the assignment.
Fair

Writing is mostly clear, but sentences may lack variety and/or point of view is inconsistent. The focus may be slightly off or misdirected, given the assignment.
Good

Writing is clear, and author expresses him/herself appropriately, given the assignment. Sentences have varied structure but may lack expressiveness at times.
Excellent

Writing is smooth, skillful, coherent. Sentences are strong and expressive with varied structure. POV is consistent (mainly 3rd person) and words are well chosen.
Mechanics & Formatting

Poor
