Assignment Title
Benchmark – Federal and Local Community Resources (Obj. 7.1)
Unsatisfactory (0.00%)
Does not demonstrate an understanding of the assignment:
does not create a table that contains federal and local
resources as specified in the assignment.
Does not demonstrate an understanding of the assignment
directions: Does not evaluate the impact of federal and local
resources as specified in the assignment. Provides no
scholarly references outside the textbook.
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.
Paper lacks any discernible overall purpose or organizing
claim.
Statement of purpose is not justified by the conclusion. The
conclusion does not support the claim made. Argument is
incoherent and uses non-credible sources.
Surface errors are pervasive enough that they impede
communication of meaning. Inappropriate word choice
and/or sentence construction are used.
Sources are not documented.
Total Points
100.0
Less than Satisfactory (65.00%)
Demonstrates a minimal understanding of the assignment:
table does not contain federal and local resources as
specified in the assignment, or presents information but not
in table format. Where present, some of the information is
incomplete or incorrectly identified.
Demonstrates a minimal understanding of the assignment:
does not sufficiently/clearly evaluate the impact of federal
and local resources as specified in the assignment. Provides
no or irrelevant references outside the textbook.
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, overuse of bold, or lack of appropriate
indentations of text.
Thesis and/or main claim are insufficiently developed and/or
vague; purpose is not clear.
Sufficient justification of claims is lacking. Argument lacks
consistent unity. There are obvious flaws in the logic. Some
sources have questionable credibility.
Frequent and repetitive mechanical errors distract the
reader. Inconsistencies in language choice (register), sentence
structure, and/or word choice are present.
Documentation of sources is inconsistent or incorrect, as
appropriate to assignment and style, with numerous
formatting errors.
Satisfactory (75.00%)
Table includes all of the basic information on federal and local
resources as specified in the assignment.
Provides a basic evaluation of the impact of the various
federal and local resources as specified in the assignment.
Includes appropriate scholarly references outside the
textbook.
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.
Thesis and/or main claim are apparent and appropriate to
purpose.
Argument is orderly, but may have a few inconsistencies. The
argument presents minimal justification of claims. Argument
logically, but not thoroughly, supports the purpose. Sources
used are credible. Introduction and conclusion bracket the
thesis.
Some mechanical errors or typos are present, but are not
overly distracting to the reader. Correct sentence structure
and audience-appropriate language are used.
Sources are documented, as appropriate to assignment and
style, although some formatting errors may be present.

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.

development of the paper. It is descriptive and reflective of
the arguments and appropriate to the purpose.
Argument shows logical progression. Techniques of
argumentation are evident. There is a smooth progression of
claims from introduction to conclusion. Most sources are
authoritative.
Prose is largely free of mechanical errors, although a few may
be present. A variety of sentence structures and effective
figures of speech are used.
