Overview of What You’ll Be Graded on
- Content: Is it readable and informative? Does it teach us about the topic? Do we learn how YOU feel about the topic? Do you provide summaries written in your own words that avoid plagiarism/patchwriting? Do you provide a substantive rhetorical analysis that considers purpose, audience, author, language, and more? Does It meet all minimum word requirements?
- Research: Did you dig deep? In other words, did you look for sources that don’t just agree with what you thought you would find? Were you open to being surprised and contradicted?
- Genre: Remember that your three sources must each be a different genre! One must be a peer-reviewed article obtained through the library.
- Presentation: Basically, can someone who is not you make sense of this, both visually and intellectually? Are there subheads and other things that would help a reader make sense of your document? Is it organized? Is it done with evident care and clearly shows that you’ve proofread your work?
- Citation: When you quote something that’s from one or more of your sources, be sure to cite it according to MLA guidelines. We will go over citation rules in class.
