Format:
Exemplar
The language is clear and expressive. The
reader can create a mental picture of the
situation being described. Abstract concepts
are explained accurately. Strong introduction to
the reflection.
Seeks to understand concepts by examining
openly your own experiences in the past as
they relate to the topic, to illustrate points you
are making. Demonstrates an open, non-
defensive ability to self-appraise, discussing
both growth and frustrations as they related to
learning in class. Risks asking probing
questions about self and seeks to answer
these.
In-depth synthesis of thoughtfully selected
aspects of experiences related to the topic.
Makes clear connections between what is
being learned about the topic from chapter
readings, outside sources, and class
discussions.
Showed a strong ending to the reflection.
Finished by using a strong summary of the
learning and showed future thinking of
communication competencies and their impact.
Proper APA citations are used and includes
reference to at least two readings in addition to
those assigned for class.
No spelling errors and few to zero grammar
errors. Meaning is easily understood.
Good formatting and attempt to try to use
design elements for online communication.
Intermediate
Minor, lapses in clarity. Abstract
concepts are explained fairly
accurately. Okay introduction.
Seeks to understand concepts by
examining somewhat cautiously your
own experiences in the past as they
relate to the topic. Sometimes
defensive or one-sided in your
analysis. Asks some probing
questions about self, but do not
engage in seeking to answer these.
Goes into some detail explaining
some specific ideas or issues from
outside experiences related to the
topic. Makes general connections
between what is learned about the
topic from chapter readings, outside
sources, and class discussions.
Okay ending to the reflection and
summary of what was learned.
Concluding ideas about
competencies not as strong as they
could be.
Missing in-text citations but includes
reference to at least one reading in
addition to those assigned for class.
Few spelling errors and some
grammar errors. Meaning is generally
understood
Formatting is okay, could be more
organized and flow better to show
better online communication
Developing
There are frequent lapses in clarity.
Concepts are either not discussed
or are presented inaccurately.
Little self-disclosure, minimal risk
in connecting concepts from class
to personal experiences. Self-
disclosure tends to be superficial
and factual, without self-reflection.
Identifies some general ideas or
issues from outside experiences
related to the topic
Simple conclusion, or missing
conclusion. Competencies
missing.
No outside references used only
the chapter. Missing references list
and in-text citations.
Few spelling errors and/or some
grammar errors. Awkward
sentences inhibit understanding.
No formatting, elements of the
assignment were included but not
in an orderly fashion. or looked
thrown together.
