From Professor:
“I will grade papers based on command of topic, argumentative development, organization, and language. I reserve A-range grades to papers that are analytical (as opposed to simply descriiptive) and focused, that is, papers that analyze in-depth one particular aspect of a broader subject and show a significant understanding of the topic as well as an ability at grasping its connections with the broader historical context.
I do not expect your paper to have a thesis – although a convincingly argued thesis paper will be fine with me. I do expect your paper to be solidly based on reliable sources, well-structured and easy to follow, and carefully written in correct English.
My grading policy includes ZERO TOLERANCE for sloppy writing. This means that bad spelling, incorrect grammar and syntax, inaccurate word choice, and confusingly and imprecisely phrased concepts will negatively affect your paper’s grade.”
