Q Use this link to submit the final version of your paper. The requirements for this paper are as follows: it must be a minimum of six pages (not including title page or works cited page), double-spaced, with standard margins (etc.). Because you are submitting it electronically, you do not need a title page, and should include only the title of your paper as your header. You must include (which means use effectively within your paper) at least four academically credible sources and cite them correctly in Chicago Author-Date style. The rubric for grading this assignment will be the same as for the rough draft, with the exception that your editing/proofreading will now factor into your grade as well (as you will recall, your editing was assessed on the rough draft, but it did not factor into the final grade). In addition to uploading your paper here, you are also required to upload it to your e-portfolio along with the appropriate cover sheet. Instructions for uploading your work to e-portfolio, as well as a cover sheet already filled out with the information for our course, can be found in the Final Exam and Final Paper module on Canvas. You will want to upload your paper and coversheet in the following three places: Humanities Breadth, Global Interdependence, and Reading/Writing Enhanced; you should upload it in all three places, even if you have already uploaded something for those tabs. After uploading your paper and coversheet to your e-portfolio, you should take a screenshot confirming that it has been uploaded to the appropriate place and then submit that screenshot along with your paper via the link above. Failure to attach a screenshot confirming your e-portfolio upload will result in a loss of 10 points on your final paper grade, so please make sure that you include this with your paper. Rubric Final Paper Rubric Final Paper Rubric Criteria Ratings Pts This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeEditing Refers to your observation of standard conventions of academic writing. This includes, but is not limited to, spelling, grammar, and punctuation. 5 pts (1) Full Marks Excellent editing; few if any oversights. 4 pts (2) Good Reasonable editing; there are occasional oversights, but not so many as to be excessively distracting. 3 pts (3) Satisfactory Acceptable editing; a number of oversights but not so many as to significantly compromise the paper's clarity. 2 pts (4) Poor There are a significant number of basic editing mistakes in this paper, which has the effect of compromising the paper as a whole. 1 pts (5) Failing There are too many editing errors in this paper. If due to negligence, the writer should be aware that their writing is not at the level that it should be. If due to lack of training, the writer is highly encouraged to seek additional help in the Writing Center. 0 pts (6) No Marks 5 pts This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeClarity and Delivery of Thesis Refers to paper's ability to clearly communicate a distinct thesis to its reader, and then to support it structurally through a well-organized presentation of evidence supporting that thesis. 10 pts Full Marks Thesis is both clear and strong, and it provides the point of reference for every part of the paper. The reader knows what the writer is trying to accomplish, and is given clear and compelling reasons throughout the paper to support it. 8.5 pts Clear thesis with support The thesis is clear, and most of the paper seems organized to support it (aside for perhaps some wandering). 7.5 pts Thesis present but not strong There does seem to be a thesis in the paper, but it is either not clearly stated or not clearly and consistently supported throughout the paper. 6.5 pts Thesis present, but insignificant There appears to be a thesis in this paper, but it does not connect to a great deal of the paper. It seems peripheral, perhaps stated and then forgotten. As a result, the paper reads mostly like a report of information that the student has found, which is centered only weakly around the thesis. 5 pts Thesis? There isn't any clear statement of a thesis in this paper, and as a result it isn't clear what the writer is trying to accomplish. The writer may believe that they have a thesis, but it fails to make its way to the reader. Most of the paper is spent reporting information that the writer believes is relevant. 0 pts No Marks 10 pts This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeKnowledge of Subject Matter Refers to the accuracy and depth of the writer's knowledge, as demonstrated by their ability to make effective use of reliable sources to speak in an informed way about the subject matter. 10 pts Full Marks Writer has done a deep dive into the resources and is able to speak to their subject matter with the authority of one who knows what there is to be known about it. The writer has provided ample reason for the reader to trust what they have to say. 8.5 pts Reasonable understanding The writer may not be an expert on the material, but they have done some solid research and know enough to speak credibly to their subject matter. 7.5 pts Reasonable familiarity The writer knows most of the basic features of their subject matter, but has difficulty in moving beyond what can be found readily easily. This writer has things to say, but does not go into much depth about them. 6.5 pts Insufficient understanding The writer clearly knows something about the subject matter of the paper, but not enough to support their thesis in any substantial way. A researcher could achieve comparable depth with some quick web searches. 5 pts Superficial understanding The writer clearly knows something about their subject matter, but not enough to craft a college-level paper about it. The paper amounts to little more than a report pulled together from equally superficial sources. 0 pts No Marks 10 pts This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeCitation Refers to the accuracy and appropriateness of the writer's use of sources. Sources should be cited when necessary, and cited in a manner consistent with Chicago Manual of Style (17th ed.), author/date format. 5 pts Full Marks Writer makes excellent use of relevant and academically credible resources; all or almost all citations are properly formatted according to Chicago author/date style. 4.25 pts Good use of citations Writer makes good use of academically credible resources, and cites them for them most part accurately according to Chicago author/date style. 3.75 pts Satisfactory source use Writer makes use of mostly academically credible resources, but doesn't always provide citations when they should and makes some errors in their citations. 3.25 pts Some sources cited Writer uses some sources, although they run into problems like the following: they treat questionable resources as if they are academically reliable; they cite them in a manner generally inconsistent with Chicago author/date style; they don't cite when they should, and do cite when they shouldn't. 2.5 pts Inadequate citation There are sources, but there aren't enough of them, they aren't of acceptable quality, and/or they are not used effectively in the paper. The writer fails consistently to format them correctly. 0 pts No Marks 5 pts Total Points: 30 PreviousNext
