Please note, in your other courses, you will likely not be provided with Assessment Form
criteria before and during assignment submission periods.

1. Did the student answer the question? Please provide one or two sentences on why
you think the student did or did not answer the question. Is it a full (three or four
sentence) paragraph?

2. Is what the student submitted a full (three or four sentence) paragraph? Are there
spelling or grammar issues?

3. Is this a mostly original work or did the student use cited source material? Note—if
the student used un-cited source material (as per APA style rules) then this is
plagiarism.

4. Are there spelling or grammar issues? If the student has more than two errors, please
point out what a few of the more common errors are and how to fix them.

5. Is the paragraph a coherent structure that flows well? Please provide one or two
sentences on why you think the student's paragraph is or is not a coherent structure.

the answer:
I have realized that it is time for me to go back to school to get a Master of Business
Administration. There are several reasons for this. I believe that continuing my
education will expand my horizons, personally and career-wise. For instance, by
taking an online University program open to students located around the world, I will
have the chance to meet and network with people who have different backgrounds.
Another reason is that I do not want to be limited in my career or “get rusty”.
Furthering my education will allow me to develop a new set of skills that could lead
to better job opportunities and possibly a different career. Finally, getting an MBA
has been on my radar for a long time, but the timing had never been right. In
summary, going back to school to complete this program will provide me with a sense
of personal accomplishment and will better prepare me for an increasingly
competitive job market.
