A Students working at this level engage fully every assignment and demonstrate a willingness to examine their own thinking and assumptions.
All work reflects a level of thinking far beyond the obvious and the superficial.
Students come to class fully prepared to discuss assigned readings and to participate actively in all phases of the course. All assignments are submitted on time and all make-up work from authorized absences is managed in a timely fashion. Obviously, all work is the student's own. Student's essays contain few, if any errors in sentence structure and coherence, and they develop fully an interesting, insightful, tightly focused argument. They provide the reader with clear support and argumentation that fully justifies the author's conclusions, and they are written in a style that is both felicitous and sophisticated.
