Novice• Student demonstrates minimal attention to context, audience, purpose, and to the assigned task. • Student uses appropriate and relevant content to develop simple ideas in some part of the assignment. • Student attempts to use a consistent system for basic organization and presentation. • Student demonstrates an attempt to use sources to support ideas and uses language that sometimes impedes meaning because of errors in usage.b. Developing• Student demonstrates an adequate understanding of context, audience, and purpose and to the assigned task. • Student uses appropriate and relevant content to explore and develop ideas throughout most of the assignment. • Student demonstrates fairly consistent use of important conventions such as organization, content, presentation, and style. • Student demonstrates use of credible and relevant sources to support ideas and uses straightforward language that generally conveys meaning to audience with some errors.c. Proficient• Student demonstrates a thorough understanding of context, audience, and purpose and to the assigned task. • Student uses appropriate, relevant, and compelling content to illustrate mastery of the subject. • Student demonstrates detailed attention to and successful execution of a wide range of conventions to an assignment. • Student demonstrates skillful use of high-quality, credible, and relevant sources to develop ideas and uses graceful language that skillfully communicates meaning to audience with very few, if any, errors.This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeCritical & Analytical ThinkingStudents will comprehensively explore issues, ideas, artifacts, and events before accepting or formulating opinions or conclusions.a. Novice• Student states problem to be considered without clarification or description. • Student gathers information without interpretation/evaluation; viewpoints of experts are taken as fact without question. • Student demonstrates some awareness of assumptions and begins to identify some contexts when presenting a position. • Student expresses a position that is simplistic and obvious and reaches a conclusion that is inconsistently tied to some of the information discussed/presented.b. Developing• Student identifies problem to be considered critically, but description has some omissions or needs additional clarity. • Student gathers information that is mostly appropriate to develop a coherent analysis or synthesis. The viewpoints of experts are subject to questioning. • Student questions assumptions and identifies several relevant contexts (sides of an issue) when presenting a position. • Student considers opposing viewpoints when formulating a logical conclusion that is tied to appropriate information.c. Proficient• Student states an issue or problem clearly and comprehensively, providing all relevant information for full understanding. • Student takes information from sources with enough interpretation/evaluation to develop a comprehensive analysis or synthesis. The viewpoints of experts are questioned thoroughly. • Student thoroughly analyzes assumptions and carefully evaluates the relevance of contexts when presenting a position, taking into consideration the complexities of an issue. • Student formulates a logical conclusion that reflects her/his ability to place evidence and perspectives discussed in priority order.This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeProblem SolvingStudents will design, evaluate, and implement a strategy to answer open-ended questions or achieve desired goals.a.

Developing• Student demonstrates the ability to construct a problem statement with evidence of most relevant contextual factors. • Student identifies multiple approaches to solve a problem, only some of which apply within a specific context. • Student proposes a solution/hypothesis that indicates comprehension of the problem. • Student provides a solution that is adequate and address multiple contextual factors of the problem. • Student reviews results relative to the problem with some consideration of need for further work.c. Proficient• Student demonstrates the ability to construct a clear and insightful problem statement with evidence of all relevant contextual factors. • Student identifies multiple approaches to solve a problem that apply within a specific context. • Student proposes multiple solutions/hypotheses that indicate insightful comprehension of the problem. • Student provides a solution that is insightful and elegant and implements the solution in a manner that thoroughly addresses multiple contextual factors of the problem. • Student thoroughly reviews results relative to the problem with specific consideration of need for further work.This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeHuman + Cultural DiversityStudents will demonstrate an understanding of cognitive, affective, and behavioral skills and characteristics that support effective and appropriate interaction in a variety of cultural contexts.a.
