Style
Exemplary
The writing engages the reader through an original prose style appropriate to the subject. Language is precise. Sentences are varied but not noticeably so. Active voice is apparent.
Accomplished
The writing keeps the reader’s attention through a carefully crafted prose style. Language chosen is appropriate to the subject, but may call attention to itself in minor ways.
Developing
The writing is clear but could be expressed in a style more appropriate to the subject. It is jargon-free but may require a more complete explanation of some terms used.
Beginning
The writing lacks clarity and is sometimes confusing. The language chosen is not appropriate to the subject nor the assignment.
Mechanics
Exemplary
The writing is free of grammatical, proofreading, and stylistic errors. All quoted material is properly documented and cited.
Accomplished
The writing may exhibit a few minor errors in grammar or style, but do impair the flow of the reading. Most quoted material is properly documented and cited.
Developing
The writing could benefit from additional proofreading, as some errors impede the flow of the reading. Sources are documented and cited but need to show greater consistency.
Beginning
The writing exhibits substantial errors in grammar and style so that the basic ideas are lost. Sources are overly quoted and not adequately documented nor cited.
Syntax/Grammar
Exemplary
The writing contains sentences that are always complete and grammatically correct, and free of confusion and ambiguity. Main ideas are not lost in surrounding supporting evidence.
Accomplished
The writing contains sentences that are complete or which imply unstated connections and/or conclusions. Main ideas can be distinguished from supporting evidence with some effort.
Developing
The writing contains some grammatical errors easily corrected by adherence to a uniform style throughout. Additional proofreading would help eliminate errors.
Beginning
The writing is confusing and ambiguous owing to substantial errors of grammar and syntax. There is no evidence of proofreading, editing, or rewriting.
