Essay is appropriate for the assignment; clearly stated, sharply focused main
idea (thesis statement)
Clear and consistent subject; presents a reasoned and creative approach;
analyzes issues clearly and precisely; fair minded
mechanics, but all writers in this class are expected to work to correct those
errors.
Essay acceptable for assignment; clear main idea although perhaps not as
focused or well stated as in a 5 or 6 paper
Adequately addresses the subject but may not always make his/her
interpretation clear
Shows clarity of thought but may lack complexity; lapses into weak reasoning
at times
Is adequately developed, with some detail, but support may not always be
strong and apparently relevant to main idea; content may be vague or
general rather than specific
Demonstrates competent writing, but some sentences may lack variety and
diction may be imprecise in areas
Framework and subject are very fuzzy; paper seems unfocused; little critical
thought displayed
Simple words are frequently misspelled; conventions of Standard English are
lacking.
May show patterns of flaws in language and syntax; confused words; lack of
precision in word choice
F indicates substandard work. I usually reserve this grade for students who
turn in an exceptionally poor paper, full of errors in grammar, spelling,
mechanics, organization, reasoning, etc.; for students whose papers fail to
meet the requirements of the assignment in some substantial way; or for
students whose papers are late. Remember that if you are caught
plagiarizing, you will fail.
Attendance Policy: This course relies mainly upon the completion of assignments
through the medium of the computer. This makes an attendance policy somewhat
unnecessary, obviously. However, there will be scheduled dates on which students and
instructor will meet, so it will be important that the student be available for that time
period. If an absence is unavoidable, advance notification is expected. Disks will also be
turned in on time.
