INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: WHEN YOU RETURN THE EVALUATION SHEET TO THE TEACHER,
DO NOT INCLUDE THIS SHEET: KEEP IT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

  
Students PRINT a copy of their paper and bring it to class on TUESDAY, October 17th, for evaluation by the Group Leader (or a substitute elected by the group). The Leader discusses her/his criteria for each paper with the entire group
, using the following guidelines, then gives a mark from 0 (zero) to 5 (five)..
 
 
 
FORM: The student uses abundant connectives appropriately (according to the handout) = 1
               The student uses few connectives and/or many are inappropriate (according to the handout) = 0



CONTENT There are four categories; students get 0 or 1 point in each category.

(a.) The preliminary information* is complete = 1.    The preliminary information* is not complete = 0.
*bibliographic data, new terms, headings for each section. Note: The number of new terms varies with each student; those unfamiliar with Graddol's language will put many terms, those familiar will put few terms.

(b.) The RÉSUMÉ OF THE ARGUMENTATION is accurate. = 1.    The RÉSUMÉ does not give all points. = 0
“Accurate” means that if Graddol read the RÉSUMÉ , he would say “That is exactly what I meant!”    It also means that the student has seen all the possible weak points in Graddol's reasoning..

(c.) The DISCUSSION of the text is penetrating. = 1.         The DISCUSSION is merely repetitive. = 0.
“Penetrating” means that the DISCUSSION is not a simple repetition of the ideas in the text; it helps
the reader understand what Graddol is getting at, even when he does not say so explicitly. 

(d.) The SUMMARY is effective; the APPRAISAL OF WORTH is honest. = 1.     Both are superficial. = 0.
An “effective” SUMMARY gives all the essential points in just a few words.   An “honest” APPRAISAL of the worth of the text shows that the student has really tried to see if the text can help him/her grasp reality better.

Group Leaders can add a comment after a student's mark if they want, but it is not necessary.
