The paper reflects little revision and editing and little variation in sentence construction. Errors in language conventions detract from the paper’s effectiveness. The paper includes a minimal bibliography of sources used, or sources which are not related to answering the research question. 2 The paper is not guided by an open‐ ended research question. The paper presents little information on the general topic or lists disconnected facts and details about a topic. The paper includes few or no references to sources with little or no demonstration of research skills. The paper reflects little or no revision and editing with multiple errors in language conventions detracting from the paper’s effectiveness. The paper includes little or no bibliography of sources.
