Gerontology Program WRITING Rubric Written Communication is the development and expression of ideas through writing for a particular audience and purpose Gerontology students should be able to communicate effectively through writing about social phenomena from a social science perspective

4 = Exceed Expectation 3 = Meet Expectation 2 = Approach Expectation 1 = Below Expectation

1 Purpose and Development

A strong sense of purpose controls the development of the presentation The presentation is extremely focused even though it studies complex ideas The student demonstrates mastery of the subject

A clear purpose guides the development of the presentation The presentation studies increasingly complex ideas and is adequately focused Student demonstrates an adequate understanding of the subject

The student generally stays on a fairly broad topic but has not developed a clear theme The presenter demonstrates some understanding of the subject but has not yet focused the topic pass the obvious

The presentation has no clear sense of purpose or central theme The student has not yet decided the main idea of the paper or is still in search of a topic thus demonstrated little understanding of the subject

2 Overall Organization

The organization enhances and showcases the central theme The order structure or presentation of information is compelling and smoothly moves the reader through the text

The organizational structures are strong enough to display a central theme and adequately move the reader through the text

The organizational structures are not strong enough to display a central theme therefore the reader is confused sometimes when listening to the presentation

The presentation lacks a clear sense of direction and identifiable internal structures which makes it hard for the reader to get a grip on the theme or the main idea

3 Audience Engagement

The student meets the needs and captivates the interest of the audience throughout the presentation

The student meets the needs and captivates the interest of the audience throughout most of the presentation

Sometimes the student holds the attention of the audience but does not sustain it throughout

The student neither meets the needs nor captures the interest of the audience
