Criteria Ratings Pts
This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome CT1
Students will demonstrate the ability to recognize problems and examine propositions and opinions.
4 pts
Exemplar (Proficient)
Clear evidence of critical thinking application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Arguments are characterized by clarity of argument, depth of insight into issues, originality of treatment, and relevance.
3 pts
Effective (Proficient)
Some evidence of critical thinking application. Arguments are generally accurate, but could be improved with more analysis and creative thought. Tendency to recite facts or textual information rather than address issues.
2 pts
Adequate (Area of Opportunity)
Minimal evidence of critical thinking application exists. Some accuracy, but much more analysis and thought needed. Almost exclusively repeating information from the texts or lecture material rather than addressing issues.
1 pts
Ineffective (Area of Opportunity)
Little or no evidence of critical thinking application exists. Minimal accuracy, analysis, and thought provided. Exclusively repeating information from the texts or lecture material rather than addressing issues.
4 pts
This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome CT2
Students will demonstrate the ability to assess the strength, weakness, and soundness of an argument.
4 pts
Exemplar (Proficient)
Focuses the material to convey a clear, unified point or effect (either stated or implied). Insights are presented in a coherent and effective manner.
3 pts
Effective (Proficient)
Focuses the material to convey a generally unified point or effect (either stated or implied). Insights are presented in a generally coherent and effective manner.
2 pts
Adequate (Area of Opportunity)
Provides some focus (either stated or implied) to the material, but the overall point or effect is somewhat unclear. May explore the topic in a holistic manner, stating valid points; however, insights are not consistently integrated with a unifying idea.
1 pts
Ineffective (Area of Opportunity)
Provides little or no focus (either stated or implied) to the material. May explore the topic in a holistic manner, but most points are not connected to an overall purpose or unifying idea.
4 pts
This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome CT3
Students will demonstrate the ability to synthesize evidence and justify results.
4 pts
Exemplar (Proficient)
The argument accurately employs validation criteria for the selected discipline. The information used is relevant, credible, and integrated purposefully.
3 pts
Effective (Proficient)
The argument accurately employs validation criteria for the selected discipline. Relevant and credible information is generally used effectively to support and advance most key claims.
2 pts
Adequate (Area of Opportunity)
The argument employs minimal awareness or use of validation criteria in the selected discipline but employs them mechanically or superficially. There may be oversimplifications and misconceptions (e.g., assuming statistics results are true). Some, but not all, key claims are supported with quality, objective evidence.
1 pts
Ineffective (Area of Opportunity)
The argument employs little to no awareness of the criteria by which knowledge is verified in the selected discipline. Opinions and information summaries are presented as matters of fact. Key claims are not supported with quality, objective evidence.
