C-level work still indicates a basic understanding of the important issues but do not go beyond basic absorption of the class lectures and textbook. Points are illustrated, but the illustrations are only basic. All of the assignments were completed on time but with poor quality that suggest incompleteness. Essay topics are predictable and simplistic. Research is scanty and incomplete, understanding of these sources shows no evidence of knowledge beyond the class lectures and textbooks.
Writing shows mechanical and formal problems.
The writing is poorly organized with transitions missing and the supporting arguments do not evidently relate to the central idea. Also, it is unclear and the writer has little control over the way the presuppositions and arguments are structured and communicated. As such, the work on this level lacks a sense of logical completeness. D-level work indicates problem with the basic understanding of the important issues. The illustrations seem arbitrary.
