Final research paper rubric
The final version of the paper is due on Friday, May 11th. Late papers will lose 10 points per day (I want you guys to get these things in so that you can focus on finals during review week!)Rubric for the final version:
30% Content/originality (this means you have good, interesting information, not more than 25% is direct quotes, and you haven't plagiarized anything at all, even a short line)
20% Style (includes integrating/ tying in your quotes -- if you haven't done this yet, go back through and make sure you've related your quotes to the rest of what you're saying with your words. The goal is to not have any quote standing alone as a sentence in your paper.)
20% Organization (have you presented your information in a logical way? Do you have a good introduction and conclusion? Does your paper follow through with what your introduction leads the reader to expect -- check this especially if you wrote your intro months ago.)
20% Grammar/ Spelling
10% Sources/ Citations/ Works Cited (Do you have all the required sources? Do you use them? Do you have your citation format and Works Cited format correct? Is every work you cite in the paper in your Works Cited?)
Missing pages (ie: shorter than required) will result in a direct loss of points (seniors lose 1/14th of their points for each missing page, juniors 1/12 of their points, 9th graders 1/8th of thier points). Missing Works Cited pages count as two missing pages, so do them!
