Uses a logical structure appropriate to paper’s subject, purpose, and audience Sophisticated transitional sentences often develop one idea from the previous one or identify their logical relations. It guides the reader through the chain of reasoning or progression of ideas. Uses appropriate, relevant, and compelling content to support ideas, convey understanding of the topic and shape the whole work.

Novice (1) Demonstrates minimal attention to context, audience, and purpose. Does not address assignment. Presents a thesis/central idea that can be developed. States thesis/central idea that is weak, or too broad to be developed. May list ideas or arrange them randomly rather than using any evident structure. May use transitions, but they are likely to be sequential (first, second, third) rather than logic based. Attempted thesis/central idea is unclear. Often uses ineffective or inappropriate content (e.g., opinions, examples, or clichés) to support points, or offers little evidence of any kind. Style Uses words with precise meaning and an appropriate level of specificity. Sentences are varied, yet clearly structured and carefully focused, not long and rambling.
