sentence, paragraph after paragraph. In composition, it is marked by stylistic finesse: the title and opening paragraph are engaging; the transitions are artful; the
phrasing is tight, fresh, and highly specific; the sentence structure is varied; the tone enhances the purposes of the paper. Finally, the ACS paper, because of its
careful organization, development, and logic imparts a sense of completeness and unusual clarity. An ACS paper is highly instructive for other (and future) members of
the course; as a result, it is publishable. B Grade Papers ＝ MET COURSE STANDARDS (MCS) This paper is more than competent. In addition to being almost free of
mechanical error, the MCS paper gives the reader substantial information of quantity, interest, and scholarly value. Its specific points are logically ordered, well
developed, and unified around an organizing principle that is clear. The opening paragraph draws the reader in; the closing paragraph is both conclusive and
thematically related to the opening. The transitions between paragraphs are for the most part smooth and the sentence structures pleasingly varied. The diction of the
MCS paper is typically much more concise and precise than found in the BCS paper. Occasionally, it even shows distinctiveness and finesse. Overall, an MCS paper makes
the reading experience pleasurable, one that offers substantial information with few distractions. C Papers ＝ BELOW COURSE STANDARDS (BCS) The paper is generally
competent. It meets the assignment, has few mechanical errors, and is reasonably well organized and developed. The actual information-content is either thin and
commonplace or made to seem so. The ideas are vague generalities; they prompt the reader in some confusion to ask margin questions ″In every case or why or how or how
many…? How do we know this?″ Stylistically, the BCS paper has shortcomings as well: the opening paragraph does little to draw in the reader; the final paragraph
offers only a perfunctory wrap-up; the transitions between paragraphs are often bumpy; the sentences, while choppy, follow a predictable (and monotonous) subject-
verb-object pattern; and the diction is occasionally marred by unconscious repetitions, redundancy, and imprecision. The BCS paper gets the job done but lacks
imagination and intellectual rigor; rereading would be a chore. D Papers ＝ UNACCEPTABLE EFFORT (UE). Not Graduate Level Work. The paper′s treatment and development of
the subject, though promising, are yet only rudimentary. The organization is neither clear nor effective. Sentences are frequently awkward, ambiguous, and marred by
serious mechanical error. Evidence of careful proofreading is scanty, if non-existent. The whole piece gives the impression of having been conceived and written in
haste.
