9E-2014

This rubric was created from your peers responses and will be used to assess the quality of reasoning in all of the work you will do this semester.

Standard of Reasoning Clarity

1 Limited
The meaning is not clear. Terms are not defined or applied consistently. Information presented is incorrect Details are limited are insignificant to the question at issue There is little or nor congruency between premises and conclusions. Evidence does not support conclusions. Does not make sense.

2 Adequate
The meaning is sometimes clear. Some terms are defined and applied consistently Information presented has frequent factual errors Details are basic and sometimes significant to the question at issue There is some congruency between premises and conclusions. Evidence sometimes supports conclusions. Sometimes make sense. Information presented is limited but has some variety. There is a small amount of precise relevant data. Work demonstrates some understanding of factors related to issue. Some of the content is off topic. Information is somewhat coherent. Connections between topics are present, and sometimes build off each other. Information is sometimes biased or one sided but shows the potential for an open mind

3 Proficient
The meaning is mostly clear. Terms are defined and applied generally throughout Information presented is mostly correct Details are varied and generally significant to the question at issue There is general congruency between premises and conclusions. Evidence supports conclusions. Generally makes sense. Information presented comes from a sufficiently varied number of sources The amount of precise relevant data is sufficient. Work demonstrates a good understanding factors related to issue. Most of the content is on topic. Information is coherent. Connections between topics are present and improve the quality of information. Information is less biased or one sided, and approached with an open mind

4 Excellent
The meaning is entirely clear. Terms are defined and applied consistently throughout Information presented is free from factual errors Details are varied and significant to the question at issue There is complete congruence between premises and conclusions. Evidence strongly supports conclusions. Makes complete sense. Information presented comes from a wide variety of quality sources The amount of precise relevant data is excellent. Work demonstrates a developed understanding of factors related to issue. Content is completely on topic. Information is coherent, and topics are connected in ways that provide insight into the question at issue. Information is nearly free of bias, addresses multiple perspectives, and is approached with an open mind.

Accuracy Precision

Logic

Breadth

Information presented is limited and lacks variety. The amount of precise relevant data is limited. Work does not demonstrate an understanding of factors related. Most of the content is off topic. Information is not coherent. Connections between topics is weak, and do not build off each other.

Depth

Relevance

Fairness

Information is biased, close minded, and or one sided.
