Good Thesis statement is present, use of specific information learned in class, no preview of paper or poor preview of paper, and tone of paper is acceptable.	Fair Thesis statement present but needs work, some use of information learned in class, tone of paper acceptable, and very little to no preview of paper.	Poor There is no thesis statement, tone of paper is not appropriate for exam, and no use of information learned in class is apparent.
