Grade for Essay R
“Essay R” is a poorly written document about wrestling. The main point of the paper is unclear, and the sentences are choppy. The purpose of the assignment was to smoothly incorporate outside sources into the text. The author of “Essay R” only incorporated one outside source, and he poorly incorporated it into the essay. I am giving “Essay R” a 75 because even though the paper was poorly structured the person did attempt to complete the assignment. The author needs help with incorporating outside sources into their paper. The assignment is most likely one of the first papers due for the author’s English class. The student is not going to receive the best grade for the work they turned in, but I am not going to grade them as if it was further into the semester. The assignment shows the instructor that this student needs help on using outside sources and formatting essays.

I agree with you on many points. I also felt the paper was unclear and at times very choppy. His last paragraph before the conclusion seemed like he wrote it right before class.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with your point about needing to use sources more effectively. The audience used his one source a few times throughout the piece, but he drew more on his own knowledge, as if he were the expert, which was not really what the assignment was asking for.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you on all of it. The choppiness made it hard to follow and the author didn't use nearly enough outside information.
