DeliverableRubric - 

Each Deliverable is marked out of 10.  The Rubric for each Deliverable is:

• 10 - Meets base requirements, plus shows an uncommon depth of understanding of the question, beyond what is expected at this level; and draws extensively on the most relevant course-related materials and outside research to support the argument.
• 9 Range- Meets base requirements, plus shows exceptional depth of understanding of the question and draws extensively on highly relevant course-related materials to support the argument.
• 8Range - Meets base requirements, plus shows good depth of understanding of the question makes good use of relevant course-related materials to support the argument.
• 7Range- Meets base requirements, namely: shows reasonable understanding of the question and has referred to relevant course related materials in the answer.
• 6 Range - Meets base requirements: shows a satisfactory understanding of the core concepts of the question; refers to relevant course material
• 5 Range - Falls short of some base requirements: shows an incomplete understanding of the core concepts of the question; refers to partially or peripherally relevant course material.
• 1-4 Range- Falls short of many base requirements
• 0 points - no submission at all

Base requirements: 

I expect students to provide specific and relevant,  foundational level  facts, statistics or opinion that are considered as 'correct' in the context of the course, in their answers.  These foundational level facts, statistics or opinion are drawn from the course materials.  Students are expected to answer questions correctly because they can look up the correct answer.  Simply providing foundational level information however, is not a complete answer.

Students are expected to answer questions completely.  This might require some analysis of what is happening in the case; and interpreting what is happening in the case in light of what is covered in the course material. 

As you can see in the Rubric, meeting base requirements is a 6/10.

To earn a higher grade, students must meet 'base requirements,' and present an argument.  I will assess the following elements of each argument:

• The quality of the argumentin terms of professional presentation which refers to the logic and comprehensiveness of the answer
• The degree to which the student has 'understood' the question and grasped the implications of facts presented in the case
• The degree to which students use the most relevant course materials and outside research in the argument.
