This document outlines a grading rubric for student responses. It evaluates responses based on 5 criteria: incorporating evidence from the original source, critical engagement with the text, support for positions, language and rhetorical features, and meeting assignment guidelines. Each criterion is worth a certain number of points, with descriptors provided for performance levels like superior, strong, meets expectations, needs improvement, and unacceptable. The rubric will be used to systematically assess and assign points to student responses based on how well they address each of the outlined criteria.
