a grade of: |
The
student’s work will exhibit the following attributes : |
| A
( 90%-100%) |
- Content - Assignments are complete and
thorough and meet or exceed stated specifications and criteria
and are submitted on time. Students have completed all parts
of the assignments as defined by the instructor. Knowledge
of subject matter is clear, and all work is clearly focused
on the assigned topics. Topics are fully developed. If appropriate,
students have included additional material/information beyond
requirements. If applicable, students have demonstrated
applicability to the work setting (theory into practice).
Students show evidence of critical thinking. If appropriate,
students demonstrate originality and fresh perspectives.
- Quality of Writing - Written work shows
superior graduate quality in verbal expression, attention
to detail, and correct application of the conventions of
the English language. In students’ written work, paragraphing
is appropriate with clear thesis statements and supporting
details. Sentences are clear and concise. Students vary
sentence structure making use of subordinate clauses. Transitional
words and phrases are used effectively. Points and ideas
are well organized. Word choice is effective. English language
conventions are applied correctly (i.e. spelling, capitalization,
punctuation, agreement, pronoun usage, sentence structure).
- Preparation (readings, field work, etc.)
- Preparation for all classes is evident. Students participate
regularly contributing ideas to class discussions that demonstrate
careful reading of assigned texts and articles, attention
to audio or video tapes or other media assigned, and engagements
in interviews, observations, or any other in-class or out-of-class
activities assigned.
- Format - Where applicable, citations
and references are used correctly and consistently, with
clear efforts made to include a wide range of relevant works.
For any work requiring citations, students refer to a wide
range of suitable sources. All non original ideas are cited
correctly and referenced in a reference list. All works
in the reference list are cited in the text. Students
follow the American Psychological Association Form and Style
Manual (4th Ed.) for the Graduate Teacher Education Program
of Nova Southeastern University as well as the instructor’s
requirements regarding type face and size, margins, headings,
title pages, etc.

| B
(80%-89% )
|
- Content - Assignments are complete and
meet stated specifications and criteria and are submitted
on time. Knowledge of subject matter is clear. Written work
focuses on assigned topics. Students have made clear efforts
to address all parts of assignments, but might have missed
one part of one or two assignments. Students have met all
but perhaps one criterion or specification indicated by
the instructor. (For example, if students are asked to provide
examples of classroom strategies, perhaps the number of
examples provided is insufficient; perhaps the examples
are not explained in enough detail for the reader to form
a clear picture of the strategy). In some assignments a
match between theory and practice may not be evident.
- Quality of Writing - Written work shows
good graduate quality in verbal expression, attention to
detail, and correct application of the conventions of the
English language. In students’ written work, paragraphs
are organized around topics with supporting details. Sentences
are clear and somewhat varied. Some transitional words and
phrases are used. Organization is adequate. Words are used
correctly. A few minor errors in the conventions of English
usage do not interfere with the readability of the work.
- Preparation - Preparation for all classes
is evident. Students participate regularly contributing
ideas to class discussions that demonstrate careful reading
of assigned texts and articles, attention to audio or video
tapes or other media assigned, and engagement in interviews,
observations, or any other in-class or out-of-class activities
assigned.
- Format - Where applicable, citations
and references are used correctly and consistently. For
any work requiring citations, all non original ideas are
cited correctly and referenced in all reference list. All
works in the reference list are cited in the text. Students
generally follow the American Psychological Association
Form and Style Manual (4th Ed.) for the Graduate Teacher
Education Program of Nova Southeastern University as well
as the instructor’s requirements regarding type face and
size, margins, headings, title pages, etc.

| C
( 70%-79%) |
- Content - Some assignments may be incomplete
or do not meet some stated specifications and criteria.
Students have made an attempt to complete all assignments,
but some student papers do not address all parts of all
assignments or do not meet some criteria specified in the
instruction. Topics may be only partially developed. There
may be no evidence of a match between theory and practice.
- Quality of Writing - Written work is
below graduate quality in verbal expression, attention to
detail, and correct application of the conventions of the
English language. In students’ written work, paragraphing
may be faulty with perhaps too many topics per paragraph
or insufficient detail to support a topic. Sentences may
lack variety, and sentence structure may be confusing. Organization
may be lacking. Errors in word usage may be present. Errors
in the conventions of English usage may interfere with the
readability of the work.
- Preparation - Preparation for most classes
is evident. Students may choose not to participate in all
class discussions or activities. When called upon, students
may not be able to demonstrate that they have read assigned
texts and articles or that they have completed other activities
and assignments.
- Format - Where applicable, an attempt
is made to use citations and references. For any work requiring
citations, students attempt to cite and reference all non
original ideas, but may make errors in format.
