The following Grading Rubric will be used for all Listening/Analysis/Issues Papers.
Clarity of purpose, topic, and theme (10%)
It should be clear to your reader what you are specifically discussing. Analytical writing should be explicit and focused. Be wary of having only a general sense of what you want to discuss. Some sentence early in the paper should offer your major, overriding insight—your thesis statement—the point around which the whole paper adheres.
