Rubric Criterion

 

 

Thesis statement: I found that looking through my research essay that my thesis is fairly strong. I would rate my thesis is a strong B. The thesis is clear and understandable. My thesis is clear and specific about hunting and the economy. The thesis is upfront in the essay and drives the essay in all other points argued.

Topic development: My ideas addressed in the essay are understandable. These ideas are general and specific but I could make them more clear and fit them better in my essay. I think that they average a C grade. There definitely addressed but are mere and not as support full as they can be. They can have more detail and thought process involved in the essay. They tie together my main points but I feel that they could better be explained in my essay.

Clarity/Coherence: In honest perspective I believe that I have averaged about a D in this field. My ideas are fairly on topic but ramble and are not as specific as I would like. My ideas ramble sometimes in my essay and not always gather together my thoughts which can confuse the reader. I would like to go through my essay and read my run on sentences and shorten maybe even take out unwanted ideas. I need to keep my idea specific to my points but also make sure that they tie back to my thesis statement.
