Criteria for Grading:
Transference, Critical thinking skills, and thoughtful development of yourbriefing papers are the primary criteria for determining grades.
1. Transference means applying ideas and concepts from the course readings to anew context. The more major ideas from the readings that you transfer to thenew context, and the more apt use you make of them, the better.
2. Critical Thinking Skills means offering your own critical thinking opinionson the specific ideas in those readings. Giving reasons transforms them from”mere opinions” to “critical thinking opinions.” The focus ofyour comments on the ideas of the readings should be critical thinking, NOTsummary.
4. Thoughtful development means not only that you offer reason and support foryour opinions, but also that you explore the topic thoroughly and completely,within the specified length guidelines for the assignment. I prize breadth anddepth of development but I also prize precision and succinctness. Avoidrambling excursions into tangential issues. In essence, what I’m looking forin your written work is solid critical thinking opinions on as many specificmajor ideas from the assigned readings as possible.Finally, when developing your written work,do not write it as one long paragraph. Instead, break it into paragraphs thatexamine one specific idea (or at most two ideas) from a reading at a time.
