Points to attend to in essay construction: THE NOBLE NINE!!
A Rubric for Evaluating Your Essays: The Noble Nine!!
When writing your paper, the following rubric should help you through the process. Make sure to consider these nine questions (The Noble Nine!). The questions will be used as a rubric in e
valuating your essays, so before you hand the essay in, please make sure you can answer yes to each question.
1. Does the introduction present a clear thesis statement? Does the introduction state the position the author will be arguing and give the reader a clear idea what to expect by describing the scope, focus and intent of the paper?
2. Is the paper logically presented? I.e., is the essay clearly written, well organized and does it offer the reader a logical, easily followed development of ideas?
3. Is the paper grammatically clean? Has the paper been carefully proof-read, corrected and free of mechanical errors (grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.)?
4. Does the conclusion recap the progress of the argument? I.e., does the paper have a succinct but comprehensive conclusion that re-focuses the readers attention on the main ideas I.e., A brief recap beyond a basic restatement of the thesis?
5. Does the paper provide adequate research and references? I.e., is the research base and use of scholarly resources sufficient to support the task undertaken?
6. Is the argument of the essay clearly delivered? Is the thesis of the paper clear and developed in sufficient depth such that the conclusions drawn seem justified? In other words, is there a clear, persuasive argument being made that reflects both the complexity of the subject and alternative points of view?
7. Is documentation appropriate? Is the documentation appropriate and the style of notes and bibliography correct and complete?
8. Does the paper reflect class work and class readings? I.e., does the paper make primary and effective use of both assigned reading and work done in class?
9. Does the essay reveal a personal voice and clear grasp of the issues? That is, does the analysis of the topic indicate both a clear understanding of the issues/concepts involved and provide a substantive contribution from the students own thinking (i.e., the paper was more than re-arranging/reporting ideas gathered from library sources)?
