After reading EssayR I would give the author a B. I think he could have done a better job comparing the two time periods, and made the distinctions between the two a little more clear. I also feel like the author could have used more elevated language than he did, but then again I do not know how formal this paper was supposed to be. Overall the paper was pretty good and flowed, however I wish he used more sources and concrete facts to back up his points. The single source was only mentioned in the very beginning of the paper.

We have the same background! Anyways, I agree with you on the B range of a grade. He did not do that well of a job and could have re read his paper to try and notice some of his mistakes. I disagree with your statement about more sources because I think he had good facts, but just had to use them better. Overall though, I think we were both thinking the same about his paper!
ReplyDeleteReally a B ? I would have thought the fact that he didn't use his source or really follow the assignment would have warranted a lower grade, but to each their own.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rick. With the lack of citations and sourcing, plus the grammatical and punctuation errors, I believe it should've been a lower grade.
ReplyDeleteAgreed Rick and Brie. I would say C or lower. But it is your grade book. But i definantly agree with all your points especially the fact that he needs more comparisons between the two time periods.
