Grading Rubric: Each question is worth 25 points.
23-25 points: An excellent response. The question was fully understood. Information provided was clear and accurate. Important names and dates were included. The length of the answer was appropriate to provide information and a thoughtful analysis. Information referenced was properly cited. Spelling and grammar was totally correct.
20-22 points: A very good answer. The question was mostly understood. Information provided was clear and accurate, but not as complete as it should have been. The length of the answer was adequate to provide information and a thoughtful analysis but a bit more detail would have helped. Information referenced was properly cited. Spelling and grammar were mostly correct.
18-19 points: A good answer. The question was generally understood but some parts of the question were not fully addressed. Information provided was mostly clear and accurate, but some information was incomplete or not fully developed. Some information was not cited correctly. The answer was a very basic with more detail required. A good starting point but with room for improvement. Spelling and grammar need improvement.
15-17 points: Needs improvement. The question was partially understood, but many elements of the question were not addressed. The response is very incomplete. Important names and dates are missing. Some of the information provided was correct but there are some inaccuracies. Spelling and grammar are in need of serious improvement. An attempt was made, but it is evident that only a basic understanding of the question was provided. The answer is much too brief. References are not properly cited.
14 and under: Not acceptable. The question was not understood and the information needed to answer it was not provided or is inaccurate or seriously incomplete. It is evident that the student did not properly prepare or study. Important names and dates are missing or listed incorrectly. Spelling and grammar are in need of serious improvement. References are not properly cited.
IF ANY PART OF ANY ANSWER IS COPIED FROM THE INTERNET OR ANOTHER SOURCE IT IS PLAGIARISM AND THE STUDENT WILL RECEIVE A ZERO FOR THE ENTIRE EXAM. THE SAME APPLIES REGARDING THE USE OF CHAT GPT OR ANY USE OF AI TECHNOLOGY. ALL EXAMS WILL BE SCANNED.
3) GRADING CHECKLIST
To make sure that you complete the exam correctly apply the checklist to each question you answer and do not submit the exam until the checklist has been applied to the entire exam. Also, as a suggestion, write your answers totally on your own without using any citations. Then, after you have written your responses, add citations which may be appropriate to support what you wrote. The exam should not simply be a collection of cited material. I need to know that you understand the material and the answers you provide need to demonstrate your own knowledge. Please remember that each exam will be scanned for plagiarism and for the use of artificial intelligence software to show that information was not copied or created and passed off as your writing. Information that is not properly cited with quotation marks is considered plagiarism.
You must be able to answer YES for each one of the questions. If you do this, you should do well on the exam.
I included the number of each question with the response.
I have written every word except for references which have been properly quoted and cited.
Each of my responses contained a minimum of 3 paragraphs with a minimum of 4 sentences in each paragraph.
The writing turned in was not copied from the internet, book, or another source or created by Chat GPT or AI and passed off as my work.
I did not simply change around a few words taken from the internet, book, or another source.
Source information that I used in the response was properly quoted with citations at the end to show the source of the information and MLA or APA style was used.
Grammar, punctuation, and spelling are correct. Paragraphs are properly used.
I showed an understanding of the question, the response was clear, and included relevant and correct names and dates.
The writing is mine and not simply a collection of cited source material.
