Rubric
Each paper is worth 10 points
10 - This paper is excellent, not only answering the questions, but also reflecting deeply about your own
views and how they compare/contrast with class discussion and readings. You took time to think about the
topics discussed in class and then expressed those thoughts in your paper. Then, you took time to express
how the topics discussed in class can be implemented in your class, or in your life.
8- This paper answers the questions and is well presented. It is overall complete, although you may have
been able to go into more depth or incorporate readings/discussions more.
6 – Your paper addressed the question, but not in depth and did not show as much reflection as was
expected. You had a very busy weekend. You took time to think about the topics discussed in class and
then expressed those thoughts in your paper.
2- You hastily threw this paper together not really addressing the question. But hey, you got something in.
You wrote something. But it was unclear what you wrote about. It had something sort of to do with class.
Thanks for handing something in.
0- Your paper was not completed. You probably went camping and forgot all about it.
