CLARITY

Excellent

You present concepts, arguments and facts clearly and coherently; the reader can easily understand the points that you make and the connections between your ideas.
Good

While we can follow your main ideas, sometimes your discussion is a bit vague or confusing, and leaves us wanting more detail or explanation.
Fair

There are several parts of your essay that are unclear, confusing and in need of greater development.
Poor

Your memo is extremely hard to follow; the ideas seem tangled and confused; it is hard to see how your ideas are connected.
ACCURACY

Excellent

You accurately and thoroughly explain concepts and arguments from other scholars; you represent historical facts in a way that is consistent with the empirical record.
Good

While you seem to get the gist of the concepts or facts that your present, some aspects of your account seem sketchy, historically inaccurate or inconsistent with the scholars' ideas.
Fair

Several aspects of the concepts, arguments, or facts that you present seem misleading, inaccurate, or inconsistent with historical events.
Poor

Many aspects of your account are historically wrong or provide misleading explanations of the ideas of others.
STRUCTURE

Excellent

Your memo has a clear structure that logically moves from point to point; the stages of your argument are well organized and clearly presented; there is an introduction, body and conclusion.
Good

Your memo structure is discernible but unevenly developed; it is not always easy to follow the logical progression of your argument; your intro and/or conclusion could use some work.
Fair

Your memo doesn't seem to have a clear organization and the points are presented in a somewhat haphazard and disorganized way.
Poor

The memo is extremely disorganized and has no discernible structure.
INSIGHT

Excellent

You delve beneath surface views to present surprising and novel understanding of the material; your readers leave feeling like they have learned something new, challenging, and exciting.
Good

You present an interesting and solid argument that shows a good understanding of the concepts and the case material. You could take these arguments even further to make them more compelling and challenging.
Fair

You don't communicate your core insights and arguments in a clear and compelling way, although there are insightful elements sprinkled through the essay.
Poor

It is not at all clear what your main insights are or what new understanding you are offering.
LANGUAGE FLUENCY

Excellent

Your writing is graceful, fluid, and free of grammatical errors; your memo is a pleasure to read.
Good

Your writing is mostly clear but has occasional awkward spots, confusing word choice, or minor mechanical errors. These distract the reader from focusing on your ideas. You should proofread more carefully or read out loud to yourself before handing it in.
Fair

Your writing has frequent grammatical errors, such as run-ons, fragment sentences, subject-verb agreement, pronoun agreement, verb tense, commas, punctuation, spelling. This makes it hard to concentrate on your ideas. I SUGGEST YOU TAKE YOUR NEXT PAPER TO THE WRITING CENTER BEFORE SUBMISSION.
Poor

Your writing has serious and consistent problems in grammar, punctuation and/or spelling. Your writing is rough and choppy. This makes it very difficult and frustrating to read. YOUR NEXT PAPER MUST BE TAKEN TO THE WRITING CENTER BEFORE SUBMISSION.
