Rubric LSTD 5013 CST3 Rubric LSTD 5013 CST3 Rubric Criteria Ratings Pts This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeRelevance to the Research Problem Statement 5 to >3.0 pts Full Marks Sources are highly relevant to the research problem statement. Sources add greatly to research potential. 3 to >2.0 pts High Marks Sources are relevant to the research problem statement and will be useful, but not as top-tier resources. 2 to >1.0 pts Partial Marks Sources are related, but not relevant. They will make only a limited contribution to the overall research project as outlined in the research problem statement. 1 to >0.0 pts Few Marks Sources are somewhat related to the problem statement, but it is unclear how they will contribute to the research. They seem tangential. 0 pts No Marks Sources are not relevant to research problem statement. 5 pts This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeCredibility 5 to >3.0 pts Full Marks Sources are from credible, scholarly materials (meet the research-quality standard). 3 to >2.0 pts High Marks Sources are credible and scholarly but lack the depth of a peer-reviewed journal article (e.g., book reviews, essays). 2 to >1.0 pts Partial Marks References come from a credible but not research-quality source, such as a general-interest publication, when scholarly material is available. 1 to >0.0 pts Few Marks Sources are only marginally credible. 0 pts No Marks Sources lack credibility. 5 pts This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeAnnotation Content 15 to >9.0 pts Full Marks Annotations succinctly and comprehensively describe the content. Annotations paraphrase key points relevant to the research problem. Annotations note the disciplinary background of the author(s) and/or the disciplinary orientation of the research (not applicable to primary materials). Annotations note why the source was chosen; relationship to the problem statement is apparent and explicit. 9 to >6.0 pts High Marks Annotations meet most, or almost all of the criteria outlined in the Full Marks column. 6 to >3.0 pts Partial Marks Annotations characterized by one of the following: Annotations describe the content, but not in a clear, succinct manner. Annotations may exceed or fall short of the stated length requirements. Annotations meets the general criteria in terms of length, but content description lacks a degree of depth and detail to the extent that the relationship to the problem statement is unclear. Annotations fail to note the disciplinary background of the author(s) of a scholarly publication. Annotations fail to note why the source was chosen (its relationship to the problem statement is not explicitly stated). 3 to >0.0 pts Few Marks Annotations characterized by two of three of the qualities in the Partial Marks column. 0 pts No Marks Annotations characterized by all of the qualities in the Partial Marks column. 15 pts This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeAPA Style 2.5 to >1.5 pts Full Marks Annotations follow APA guidelines for references and in-text citations. 1.5 to >1.0 pts High Marks A few minor errors (such as punctuation mark placement) are present. The fundamentals, such as page numbers with quotes, are correct. 1 to >0.5 pts Partial Marks Citations are partially incomplete, and/or have one or two major formatting errors, and/or several minor errors, such as punctuation mark placement, title formatting. 0.5 to >0.0 pts Few Marks Many APA formatting errors, but the general principles of reference citation are evident. 0 pts No Marks Very little information about the sources are provided. 2.5 pts This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeMechanics, Grammar, and Proofing 2.5 to >1.5 pts Full Marks Virtually free from mechanical, grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors. 1.5 to >1.0 pts High Marks Occasional minor errors do not distract the reader. 1 to >0.5 pts Partial Marks Some significant errors are present, but the overall meaning is clear. 0.5 to >0.0 pts Few Marks Errors are distracting, but the meaning is still clear. 0 pts No Marks Errors distract the reader to the extent the meaning is unclear. 2.5 pts This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeDisciplinary Breadth of the Bibliography 5 to >3.0 pts Full Marks Bibliography includes at least three distinct disciplinary perspectives. Disciplinary diversity of the literature will add analytical depth to the research. 3 to >2.0 pts High Marks Bibliography includes at least three disciplinary perspectives. However, it is unclear how the disciplinary diversity will strengthen the research. 2 to >1.0 pts Partial Marks Bibliography includes only two disciplinary perspectives. 1 to >0.0 pts Few Marks Bibliography is highly disciplinary; all scholarly sources are from the same general field of study. 0 pts No Marks Bibliography includes few or no sources from scholarly disciplines. Most or all of the sources are from general-interest publications and/or written by authors without scholarly credentials. 5 pts This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeResearch Problem and Thesis Statements 15 to >6.0 pts Full Marks Statements describe the focus and purpose of the paper. The content and structure of the research problem statement follow the guidelines provided in the Essentials Guides. The thesis statement addresses the problem and the areas of interdisciplinarity. 6 to >0.0 pts Partial Marks Statements describe the focus and purpose of the paper to an extent. The content and structure of the research problem statement only partially follow the guidelines provided in the Essentials Guides. The thesis statement only partially addresses the problem and the areas of interdisciplinarity. 0 pts No Marks Statements fail to describe the focus and purpose of the paper if statements are provided at all. 15 pts Total Points: 50 PreviousNext Need additional Help
