This rubric pertains to typed, written papers; research papers; mid-terms; finals — in short, all assignments that are not part of your Journal or in-class exercises, or daily homework exercises, are formally submitted to the professor, and graded as follows, under this four-part rubric, on a scale of one to four:
NC — Narrative & Creative Content: 1-4
S&D — Structure & Development: 1-4
M&G — Mechanics & Grammar: 1-4
IF — Instructions Fulfilled: 1-4
“Instructions Fulfilled” includes length of paper assignment, format (typing size, layout, et al), as well as following the guidelines for the assignment itself. In other words: ‘did you follow instructions?’
Note: If your M&G grade falls below a 2.5, you will be directed towards tutoring/help that will get you back on track to bring up your skills. If you see the tutor after receiving this grade, you will receive class participation credit for doing so. Please show the instructor your signed, tutoring center sheet.
