SJSU WST Scoring Guidelines |
Use the following guidelines for assigning your scores. Remember that some aspects of the topic may be dealt with by implication. 6) A "6" essay demonstrates superior competence in writing on both rhetorical and syntactic levels. A "6" paper: • is effectively organized and developed 5) A "5"' essay demonstrates clear competence in writing on both the rhetorical and syntactic levels, though it may have occasional minor errors. A "5" paper: • is generally well-organized and well-developed, though it may offer fewer details than a "6" paper 4) A "4" essay demonstrates competence in writing on both the rhetorical and syntactic levels. A "4" paper: • is adequately organized 3) A "3" essay, while it may demonstrate some developing competence in writing, remains flawed on either the rhetorical or syntactic level or both. A "3" paper may reveal one or more of the following weaknesses: • inadequate development or organization 2) A "2" essay suggests limited competence in writing. A "2" paper may be seriously flawed by one or more of the following weaknesses: • failure to organize or develop 1) A "1" essay demonstrates incompetence in writing. A paper to which this score may be given may reveal the writer's inability to comprehend the question, may be incoherent or impressively illogical. A paper that is severely underdeveloped or exhibits no response should also fall into this category. Papers that reject the assignment, off-topic papers, and no-response papers should be given to the table leader. CRITERIA BASED SCALE FOR ARGUMENT 1. These papers mention the topic and give some information about it or related issues, but they list facts and opinion randomly. They do not clearly present a position or one side of the issue and do not give reasons to support a particular viewpoint. 2. These papers take a position and state reason(s). These reasons are merely asserted and are either not supported or are supported with abbreviated "elliptical", or perhaps irrelevant detail. These papers may contain statements that do not relate to proving a stated position. 3. These papers take a position and state reasons. These reasons are given with generalized support, sometimes lacking detail. 4. These papers take a position and present a unified, well-developed argument. Each reason is well supported with specific, relevant detail. All statements and information relate directly to proving the position. 5. These papers exhibit all the characteristics of level four. In addition, they either directly or indirectly refute possible arguments of the opposing side.
