MATH2090.03 Evaluation Standards for Student Work.
Evaluation Standards for Logic Essay
Level Standard to be achieved for performance at the specified level
These are adapted from general standards I have posted on other course web sites.
Clearly in the absence of easy opportunities to question me, I will have to be flexible. In general, it will not be easy to get an A+, but it should just be a matter of good effort to get a C+.
- 9 (A+) Fully achieves the purpose of the task, while insightfully interpreting, extending
- beyond the task, or raising provocative original questions.
- *Demonstrates an in-depth understanding of
concepts and content,
- *Communicates effectively and clearly to
intended audience, using diverse means.
- 8 (A) Fully achieves the purpose of the task,
with some insight.
- *Demonstrates an in-depth understanding of
concepts and content.
- *Communicates effectively and clearly to
intended audience.
- 7 (B+) Accomplishes the purposes of the task.
- *Displays understanding of major concepts,
- *Shows clear understanding of concepts, but may
include extraneous information or some less important
ideas may be missing.
- *Communicates effectively.
- 6 (B) Substantially completes purposes of the task.
- *Displays substantial understanding of major concepts,
even though some less important ideas may be missing
and includes extraneous information.
- *Communicates successfully.
- 5 (C+) Purpose of the task not fully achieved; needs elaboration;
- some strategies may be ineffectual or not appropriate;
assumptions about the purposes may be flawed.
- *Gaps in conceptual understanding are evident.
- *Limits communication to some important ideas; results
may be incomplete or not clearly presented.
- 4 (C) Similar to C+, with larger gaps.
- 3 (D+) Important purposes of the task not achieved; work may
- need redirection; approach to task may lead away from
its completion.
- *Presents fragmented understanding of concepts; results
may be incomplete or arguments may be logically invalid.
- 2,1 (E,F) Purposes of the task not accomplished.
- *Shows little evidence of appropriate reasoning.
- *Does not successfully communicate relevant ideas.
**This paper should end with:
your current logic questions and speculation.
The presence of insightful questions can raise your grade by one on this scale. The absence of questions or efforts to speculate beyond the direct resouces cited will certainly lower the grade..
