Journal Grading 'Rubric'

As promised, listed below is how I will evaluate your journal assignments. As previously stated (the post below this one), I will not use the same rubric as I did for the first assignment, however, it is similar.

When the assignment calls for 'essay format', which each of the assignments in this course have, you are talking about fairly common attributes, correct? So what does essay format mean? Cohesiveness, writing style, using an intro and conclusion, editing (grammar, punctuation, etc...). There are also other things to consider such as meeting the requirements of the assignment sheet, applying/explaining course concepts well, presenting a sound analysis, and so on.

Without further ado, here is the grading aspects for the journal assignment:

1). Met the requirements of the assignment: (see assignment sheet) 50 points

2). Applied course concepts well (at least 4 for each) 50 points

3). Analysis - weaved in course concepts and applied them to the event, drawing global conclusions 50 points

4). Used proper essay format (intro/body/conclusion) 25 points

5). Presented a cohesive essay (using proper transition sentences between ideas) 25 points

6). Editing (grammar, punctuation, word choice, etc...) 10 points

7). Used proper writing style per the writing guide course text, and properly cited sources 15 points

Overall grade out of 225 points.

I sure hope this helps! Let me know if there are any questions about this.
