Organization Very logical, Generally logical, A bit scattered but Rather hard to
Rubric coherent, complete mostly coherent, acceptable, follow, significant
generally complete somewhat coherent, omissions and/or
occasionally substitutions
scrambled, some
noticeable omissions
but still
understandable
Presentation Clear, precise, Mostly clear, good Occasional confusion A lot of confusion,
Rubric convincing, grasp of material, or lack of clarity, not in control of
articulate, good only occasional occasional gaps in facts and key
audience connection stumbles, minor theory or important details, very
uncertainty on some details, somewhat nervous and stiff,
facts or details nervous or jittery frequently at a loss
for words
Interaction Clearly understood Adequate Weak but acceptable Lacked adequate
with material both research understanding of understanding of understanding of
Rubric findings and research findings, theory, could present theory, research
underlying theory, generally research findings but findings not always
could aptly understood not always clear on understood,
contextualize or underlying theory, implications, confused or
interpret findings in perhaps a bit occasionally confused uncertain about the
light of theory, when reluctant to attempt details or important implications of
appropriate may to extend theory or findings findings,
have suggested how explain contradictory contradictions or

extended based on in how material
research results handled
Response to Quickly grasped Occasionally Some Frequently

Paper (4) (2) (1)
Research Well-grounded, Theoretical Theoretical motivation Theoretical
Statement properly motivation visible, could be stronger, grounding weak,
Rubric contextualized, context provided, presentation okay but missing, or
clearly and reasonable could be better, confused, not clear
convincingly presentation research question(s) what the research
presented could be stronger question is,
presentation and
argumentation hard
to follow
Literature Broad-ranging, well- Very adequate, Major sources Significant gaps in
Review organized, provides used effectively to included but some the literature review,
Rubric a strong foundation introduce the visible gaps, not effectively used
for the research research question utilization of sources in support of
being presented at hand could be stronger but research question,
is acceptable, organizing principles
organization is okay unclear
Methodology Clearly explained, Explained, mostly Explained but not Inadequate
Rubric very appropriate, appropriate, always clearly, explanation, some
properly applied generally proper generally appropriate choices suspect or
application, overall though they are some inappropriate,
—only a few shaky weaknesses, methodology not
areas application could be always applied as
improved described
Research Consistent with Mostly consistent Generally consistent Data may not be
Results methodology, well with methodology, with methodology, consistent with
Rubric organized and adequately some problems in methodology,
presented, gaps or organized and presentation of presentation is
problems presented, gaps or findings, gaps or adequate or
acknowledged problems may be problems may not confusing, gaps or
glossed over have been problems ignored or
acknowledged covered up
Analysis Optimal analytic Good analytic Analytic strategies Analytic strategies
Rubric strategies applied, strategies applied, acceptable though marginal or
analytic results well results adequately not optimal, inappropriate,
presented and presented, presentation of presentation of
explained, proper interpretation results okay but with findings inadequate,
interpretation of mostly consistent obvious gaps, confused or
analytic results with approach to interpretation misleading,
analysis acceptable but weak interpretation of
at points findings too often
misguided or
misleading
Writing Style Clear, easy to Very readable Generally readable Miss-use of
and follow, proper use of though sentence but occasionally hard technical terms is
Organization technical terms, and paragraph to follow, occasional common, writing is
sentence structure structures may be miss-use of technical dense, confusing or
not overly adorned, longer and more terms, some misleading, too
good paragraphing, complex than redundancy, some much redundancy,
not dense or cryptic, necessary, tendency to include non-academic style
strong organization technical terms sentence and (use of contractions,
mostly used paragraph structures inclusion of folksy
 correctly, generally which are dense, vocabulary, tortured
clear, logical, confusing, and overly sentence structure,
convincing adorned. Some non- poor paragraphing,
academic jargon may etc.), sections
be present, some misplaced or
sections may be missing, inadequate
misplaced, possible notational system for
gaps in lists of tables structure or in tables
and figures and figures.
Content Coherent, original, Content consistent Content okay, Not SHS-level work,
creative, well- with theory and suitable organization, amateurish in tone
presented, valuable methodology, well- acceptable SHS-level and manner of
contribution to the done but nothing work presentation, adds
field, valuable out of the ordinary, little or nothing to
academic consistent with the field
contribution expectations for a
