Criteria Ratings

Writing Mechanics

MASTERY Only minimal spelling, grammar, and/or punctuation errors are present (1-2 errors). The overall sentence structure is well developed throughout, and paragraphs are fully developed with consistent style and clear

PROFICIENT Minor spelling, grammar, and/or punctuation errors present, and/or sentence structure lacks minor elements of professional writing, and/or paragraphs are consistently developed. (3-4 errors)

DEVELOPING Minimal spelling, grammar, and/or punctuation errors present, and/or sentence structure lacks elements of professional writing, and/or paragraphs are not consistently developed. (5-7 errors)

EMERGING Multiple spelling grammar and/or punctuation errors present and/or sentence structure does not meet professional writing standards, and/or paragraphs are minimally developed. (more than 7-9 errors)

NOT EVIDENT Significant spelling, grammar, and/or punctuation errors present, and/or sentence structure does not meet professional writing standards, and/or paragraphs are poorly developed. (10 or more errors)

APA formatting

MASTERY Citations, references, and formatting follow APA style guide, with only one or two minor errors.

PROFICIENT Citations, references, and formatting follow APA style guide, with more than 2 errors, but they are minor.

DEVELOPING APA style is demonstrated with some consistency, but the majority of the citation, references, and/or formatting is not correct.

EMERGING Formatting, citations, and/or references, are attempted, but do not follow APA style guidelines consistently.

NOT EVIDENT Formatting, citations, and references are not included, or do not follow appropriate APA style guide.

Sources MASTERY The use of sources was consistent throughout the document in all areas to support claims and/or statements in the artifact.

PROFICIENT In most areas, sources were consistently used throughout the submission to support claims and/or statements in the artifact.

DEVELOPING Sources were occasionally used to support some claims and/or statements in the artifact, but statements were not consistently supported with

EMERGING Minimal usage of sources present in the artifact, and/or the overall communication lacked appropriate research support.

NOT EVIDENT Sources were not used to support major statements and/or claims, where needed in the artifact

Criteria Ratings sources throughout.

Problem, Significance, & Purpose of the Study

MASTERY Presents a significant research problem related to the field of study. Articulates clear, reasonable research questions given the purpose, design, and methods of the proposed study. All constructs and variables have been appropriately defined. Propositions are clearly supported from the research and theoretical literature. All elements are mutually supportive.

PROFICIENT Identifies a relevant research issue. Research questions are succinctly stated, connected to the research issue, and supported by the literature. Constructs and variables have been identified and described. Connections are established with the literature.

DEVELOPING Research issue is identified and the research questions are stated, but lack clear connection to the research issue. Constructs and variables have been loosely identified with little connection to the literature.

EMERGING Although a research issue is identified, the statement is too broad or the description fails to establish the importance of the problem area. The research purpose, questions, hypotheses, or definitions of constructs and variables are poorly formed, ambiguous, or not logically connected to the description of the problem. Connections to the literature are unclear or debatable.

NOT EVIDENT Statement of the problem, significance, purpose, questions/hypotheses, or definitions of constructs and variables were omitted or inappropriate.

Rationale behind your review

MASTERY Submission includes a strong rationale for the selection of multiple contextually appropriate

PROFICIENT Submission includes a rationale for the selection of at least two contextually appropriate

DEVELOPING Submission includes a description of at least two contextually appropriate sources and a

EMERGING Submission includes a description of at least one contextually appropriate source and a

NOT EVIDENT Submission includes a description of at least one source and a description of the process

Criteria Ratings sources and their clear connection to the identified teaching and learning issue. A description of the process used to analyze the sources’ relation to the learning theories and the development of the criteria used for evaluating their appropriateness is included as well.

used to select the source is included as well, but the contextual appropriateness of the source and/or the connection to the identified teaching and learning issue is not clear.

Application of Theory to Practice

MASTERY Demonstrated application of theory to relevant practice, specific to the student’s workplace. A demonstrated understanding of the content within the context of their actual application and implementation.

PROFICIENT Does not fully connect or demonstrate a connected understanding of theory to actual application or implementation. It may show a proficient or satisfactory understanding.

DEVELOPING Does not fully connect or demonstrate a connected understanding of theory to actual application or implementation. It may show a developing understanding.

EMERGING Does not fully connect or demonstrate a connected understanding of theory to actual application or implementation. It may show a beginning or emergent understanding.

NOT EVIDENT Does not demonstrate application of theory to relevant practice, theory and understanding is not connected to specific to the student’s workplace.
