Sentences show variety. Wording is relatively concise and appropriate. The final, revised paper contains very infrequent errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling. The thesis statement takes a clear stand and forecasts the topics to be developed. Paragraphs and supporting details relate generally to the topic.
Any source materials are subordinate to the student's own stand.
Documentation, when needed, conforms to most appropriate conventions. The sentences within the paragraphs are, for the most part, related and contain adequate transitions. Sentence style may consist of relatively simple sentence patterns. Word choice is appropriate. While a few mistakes in grammar, punctuation, and spelling may occur, most of these elements of the paper should be correct on the final, revised copy.
