10.0 %Organization and Effectiveness

5.0 %Layout

The layout is cluttered, confusing, and does not use
spacing, headings, and subheadings to enhance the readability. The text is
extremely difficult to read with long blocks of text, small point size for fonts,
and inappropriate contrasting colors. Poor use of headings, subheadings,
indentations, or bold formatting is evident.

The layout shows some structure, but appears cluttered and
busy or distracting with large gaps of white space or a distracting background.
Overall readability is difficult due to lengthy paragraphs, too many
different fonts, dark or busy background, over use of bold, or lack of
appropriate indentations of text.

The layout uses horizontal and vertical white space
appropriately. Sometimes the fonts are easy to read, but in a few places
the use of fonts, italics, bold, long paragraphs, color, or busy background
detracts and does not enhance readability.

The layout background and text complement each other and
enable the content to be easily read. The fonts are easy to read and point
size varies appropriately for headings and text.

The layout is visually pleasing and contributes to the
overall message with appropriate use of headings, subheadings, and white
space. Text is appropriate in length for the target audience and to the
point. The background and colors enhance the readability of the text.

10.0 %Organization and Effectiveness

5.0 %Language Use and Audience Awareness (includes sentence
construction, word choice, etc.)

Inappropriate word choice and lack of variety in language
use are evident. Writer appears to be unaware of audience. Use of primer
prose indicates writer either does not apply figures of speech or uses them
inappropriately.

Some distracting inconsistencies in language choice and/or
word choice are present. The writer exhibits some lack of control in using
figures of speech appropriately.

Language is appropriate to the targeted audience for the
most part.

The writer is clearly aware of audience, uses a variety of
appropriate vocabulary for the targeted audience, and uses figures of
speech to communicate clearly.

The writer uses a variety of sentence constructions, figures
of speech, and word choice in distinctive and creative ways that are
appropriate to purpose, discipline, and scope.

10.0 %Format

5.0 %Mechanics of Writing (includes spelling, punctuation,
grammar, language use)

Slide errors are pervasive enough that they impede
communication of meaning.

Frequent and repetitive mechanical errors distract the
reader.

Some mechanical errors or typos are present, but are not
overly distracting to the reader.

Slides are largely free of mechanical errors, although a few
may be present.

Writer is clearly in control of standard, written academic
English.

5.0 %Evaluating and Documenting Sources(in-text citations for
paraphrasing and direct quotes, references page listing and formatting, as
appropriate to assignment and style)
