Just in case you're wondering, here are the guidelines for how I grade your journal entries. Each aspect is graded on a scale of 1-5 (1 being poor and 5 being excellent). The total possible points are 35, but I calculate your grade out of a total 30 points. This means, it's possible (though very difficult) to get extra points on your journal entries!
So, the aspects of your paper include:
1. Responded fully to the assignment
2. Clear topic sentence, expressing the main point or position
3. Exercises good critical thinking, going beyond surface ideas.
4. Provides adequate supporting arguments with reasons, examples, etc.
5. Is focused, well-organized, and unified.
6. Free of errors in grammar, punctuation, word choice, spelling, and format
7. Displays originality and creativity.
Some of these may look a bit different than usual on your current journal entry, but I assure you, they are still applicable. So, try your best, and please ask questions if you don't understand your grades. I'll be happy to go over them with you. Have a stupendous weekend!
