Rubric for Study Guides UNDERSTANDING: DEPTH 0 1 2 3 Probes deeply; delves below the surface; doesn't just summarize plot or characters Shows evidence of original thinking; doesn't parrot text or class notes Avoids generalities UNDERSTANDING: PRECISION 0 1 2 3 Offers insightful, plausible observations Shows reasonable accuracy in using terminology, discussing events, paraphrasing ideas, etc. EVIDENCE 0 1 2 3 Provides convincing, specifics, and logical support (examples, reasoning) for assertions and hypotheses (where applicable). CLARITY 0 1 2 3 Though you need not write grammatically perfect paragraphs (or even full sentences), I should be able to follow what you are saying with relative ease. Excessive grammar and spelling errors and non-standard phrasings make this difficult, as do very fragmented lists/sequences and underdeveloped explanations.   Contact the English Department at: 570-348-6219.
