Sentences and diction demonstrate maturity and skill. B essays still represent fine, above average writing, but lack that ultimate superior impact. The C essay is characterized by average competence. The material demonstrates able organization with adequate generalizations as well as specific detail but lacks fresh insights. Sentences are often choppy, repetitive and lack proper transitions, and diction reveals a limited competence and noticeable reliance on clich s.
Mechanics are acceptable but lapses crop up.
C essays are acceptable but leave the reader with a neutral reaction. The D essay displays deficiencies in organization, development, language use as well as in proofreading. The thesis may be fuzzy or unclear and lacks direction. Paragraphs are poorly developed, sentence structure is repetitive and lacks control, and mechanics errors are disturbing. D essays barely meet minimal expectations of college writing.
