Grading Rubric

In addition to any instructions provided with a particular assignment, the instructor will use the grading scheme below in conjunction with the course learning objectives to mark all written assignments in this course.
 
"A" Paper

An "A" paper not only correctly identifies key program planning concepts, but also shows insight into the concepts discussed. The paper is sensitive to the program planning process as it relates to social work. Written communication is clear, precise, analytical, and well reasoned. The paper consistently applies critical thinking. An "A" paper gives analytical thought to the program planning process used and the effect of this process on program performance (generally) and client experience (specifically). Key assumptions are clarified and language is in keeping with educated usage. The paper shows insight when making conclusions and creativity in raising important questions and issues related to program planning. The paper effectively incorporates ideas from the theoretical and professional literature to bolster arguments or clarify positions. The paper demonstrates excellent reasoning, problem-solving, creativity and communication (including grammar and spelling) is consistently maintained at an excellent level of intellectual performance.
 

"B" Paper

A "B" paper correctly identifies key program planning concepts, but lacks some depth of insight into the concepts discussed. The paper is sensitive to the program planning process as it relates to social work. Written communication is, on the whole, clear, precise, analytical, and well reasoned, but the paper does not consistently apply critical thinking. A "B" paper shows some evidence of analytical thought to the program planning process used and the effect of this process on program performance (generally) and client experience (specifically). The "B" paper sometimes clarifies key assumptions and typically displays language in keeping with educated usage. The paper effectively presents ideas from the theoretical and professional literature related to the key ideas presented. The paper draws logical conclusions and identifies relevant questions and issues related to program planning. The paper demonstrates good reasoning, problem-solving, creativity and communication (including grammar and spelling) is consistently maintained at a competent level of intellectual performance.

 

"C" Paper

A "C" paper may incorrectly identify key program planning concepts, and lack depth of insight for concepts that are correctly identified. The paper shows satisfactory sensitivity to the program planning process as it relates to social work. Written communication is not consistently clear, precise, analytical, or well reasoned. The paper does not consistently apply critical thinking. A "C" paper shows some evidence of analytical thought to the program planning process used and the effect of this process on the program planning study's findings. The "C" paper sometimes clarifies key assumptions but inconsistently displays language that is in keeping with educated usage. The paper incorporates ideas from the theoretical and professional literature but their links to positions argued in the paper are not obvious. The paper draws logical conclusions but identifies questions and issues that fall short in terms of their relevance or importance to program performance (generally) and client experience (specifically). The paper demonstrates satisfactory reasoning, problem-solving, creativity and communication (including grammar and spelling) is mostly maintained at a competent level of intellectual performance.

 
"D" Paper

A "D" paper incorrectly identifies most key program planning concepts, and lacks depth of insight for concepts that are correctly identified. The paper lacks sensitivity to the program planning process as it relates to social work. Written communication is not consistently clear, precise, analytical, or well reasoned. The paper does not apply critical thinking. A "D" paper may show some evidence of analytical thought to the program planning process used but fails to indicate the effect of this process on program performance (generally) and client experience (specifically). The "D" paper sometimes clarifies key assumptions and inconsistently displays language that is in keeping with educated usage. The paper fails to incorporates ideas from the theoretical and professional literature. The paper draws illogical conclusions or identifies questions and issues that are not relevant to program planning. The paper demonstrates poor reasoning, problem-solving, creativity and communication (including grammar and spelling) is at a poor level of intellectual performance.
 
"E" Paper

A "E" paper incorrectly identifies the majority of key program planning concepts, and lacks insight. The paper seriously lacks any sensitivity (or is insensitive) to the program planning process as it relates to social work. Written communication is consistently unclear, imprecise, non-analytical, or poorly reasoned. The paper shows no sign of critical thinking. An "E" paper shows little or no evidence of analytical thought to program performance (generally) and client experience (specifically).The paper fails to incorporates ideas from the theoretical and professional literature or plagarizes. The "E" paper does not clarify key assumptions and does not display language that is in keep or identifies questions and issues that are not relevant to program planning. The paper demonstrates incompetent reasoning, problem-solving, creativity and communication (including grammar and spelling) is at an unacceptable level of intellectual performance.
