Failure: Up to, and Including, 3 Points

literature in developing the paper.
* Ideas are obscure and lack good grammar, proper style, and/or
appropriate citations.

Fair: 4 - 6 Points

developing the paper.
* Ideas expressed in only a fair manner using poor grammar, improper

Individual Assignment Grading Rubric
Each individual paper must be uploaded to the applicable Assignment
Folder on or before the due date indicated in the Classroom to avoid a late
individual assignment penalty of five (5) points. The total points for each individual paper is 15 points. Levels of
performance will be assessed as excellent, very good, good, fair, or
failure. For informational purposes, the following descriptions of the levels
include attributes considered when assessing performance. Note, however,
that any unresolved instance of plagiarism is grounds for an automatic “0”
score for that paper.
