Always use these standards of performance anytime you write a research paper, respond to a case study or answer discussion threads.  These 4 Standards of Performance, when used fully, will produce an excellent paper.  

 

1. Depth of Reflection: Be sure to demonstrate a conscious and thorough understanding of the writing prompt and subject matter. Analyze the evidence from several perspectives, draw conclusions based on evidence, research and/or experience.   

2. Sequence your information: Your work has a clear and appropriate beginning, development and conclusion. Most information is organized in a clear and logical way. There is a beginning and a conclusion. Paragraphing and transitions are adequate.

3. Conclusions: Draw conclusions based on evidence, research or experience. Use the context of your readings and the assumptions the author makes.  

4. Language Use: Use sophisticated language that is precise and interesting. Sentence structure must be correct to the grammar of the language.
