Grading your Paper

. The rubric is a guide that allows me to look at specific areas (Criteria) of your paper and assign a grade to each. I will then add the six criteria grades and arrive at an overall grade for your work. A rubric helps an instructor to evaluate each student’s work consistently and fairly, despite differences in topics and content.

 

*PLAGIARISM: Your paper will go through TurnItIn, a plagiarism software.  If you receive a high score in TurnItIn, it is likely that you have committed plagiarism whether intentional or not.   Review this website to insure you do not commit plagiarism: http://www.plagiarism.org/.  If you receive a TurnItIn score that is high, I suggest that you revise and resubmit before the due date.
