Criterion
	The A post 25 pts	The B post 20 pts	The C post 15 pts	The D post 10 pts	The F post 5 pts
Content & Development	The A post -Excels in responding to assignment. Interesting, demonstrates sophistication of thought. Central idea is clearly communicated, follows a logical sequence. Understands and critically evaluates its sources, appropriately limits and defines terms.	The B post - A solid post, responding appropriately to assignment. Clearly states the central idea, but may have minor lapses in development. Shows careful reading of sources, but may not evaluate them critically. Attempts to define terms, not always successfully.	The C post -Adequate but weaker and less effective, possibly responding less well to assignment. Presents central idea in general terms.Usually does not acknowledge other views. Shows basic comprehension of sources, with lapses in understanding. If it defines terms,often depends on dictionary definitions.	The D post Does not have a clear central idea or does not respond appropriately to the assignment. Post may misunderstand sources.	The F post Does not respond to the assignment, lacks a central idea, and may neglect to use sources where necessary.
Organization & Structure	The A post Uses a logical structure appropriate to post's subject and purpose. Sophisticated transitional sentences often develop one idea from the previous one or identify their logical relations. It guides the reader through the chain of reasoning or progression of ideas.	The B post - Shows a logical progression of ideas and uses fairly sophisticated transitional devices; e.g., may move from least to more important idea. Some logical links may be faulty, but each paragraph clearly relates to paper's central idea.	The C post - May list ideas or arrange them randomly rather than using logical structure. May use transitions, but they are not in a logical sequence. While each paragraph may relate to central idea, logic is not always clear. Paragraphs have topic sentences but may be overly general, and arrangement of sentences within paragraphs may lack structure.	The D post May have random organization, lacking internal paragraph structure and use few or inappropriate transitions. Paragraphs may lack topic sentences or main ideas, or may be too general or too specific to be effective. Paragraphs may not all relate to paper's subject.	The F post Structure of the paragraph is not easy to follow. - Paragraph transitions need improvement.
