For an answer in the B range: Student writes clearly and with precision, but needs more development, examples, or analytical detail; answer need to be articulated more clearly; phrasing and grammar need some work. For an answer in the C range: A perfunctory essay; has some potential, but need to be developed more fully and clearly; phrasing and grammar are a significant issue. For an answer in the D range: Essay is poorly articulated or missing key components. No real analysis; reads like a high school book report. Simply repeats the book. Grammar and structure are very deficient. You probably wrote it in 45 minutes before class. For an answer in the F range: A feeble attempt has been made to write a meaningful essay. Analysis and points are simply wrong or incomprehensible (in whole or in part). Lacks any obvious development or analytical structure. You probably did not read the book or waited too long to start.
