Rubric for Grading
There are four criteria for grading papers and essays for the exams. These are 1)
Argument, 2) Context and Analysis, 3) Evidence, 4) Writing. What these entail is
outlined here:
1) Argument:
This criterion is investigating whether ask you have a thesis or argument. More
points will be given for a more creative, focused and insightful thesis or argument.
If you do not have a thesis, you will get a zero on this criterion.

2) Contextualizing your arguments:
This criterion asks you to focus on the context, with its specific details relating to
what you argue in your essay. This is where you demonstrate engagement with
the readings, showing how well and how deeply you reference the various points
and perspectives in each of the readings. This is also where you will be given
points for accuracy, spelling, dates and other important contextualizing details.
engagement with the readings, which entails how well and how deeply you
reference the various points and perspectives in each of the readings- 30%
3) Evidence:
This criterion is about your use of sources from the reading to support your thesis.
You should quote directly from each of the readings assigned for that week, for a
minimum of two quotes for your reading responses. For the midterm exam essay,
quote several times from the various class sources. Similarly for the final exam
take-home essay, quote from the various class sources. You get credit from
quoting from class sources, but points are detracted if you quote from online
sources like Google or Wikipedia- 30%
4) Writing
This criterion addresses the quality of your prose and pays particular attention to
grammatical errors and then as you learn to avoid making errors, addresses the
style of your writing (avoiding passive voice, and varying sentence structure etc.)-
25%
