In several instances more than one draft of each piece of work will be completed. For example, the active learning lesson plan may include an original draft, self assessment, peer assessment and revised draft. Any of these components of the assignment could be selected for assessment but not all will be assessed by the instructor. Each grade within a category will be averaged to come up with the final category grade. A level work demonstrates real achievement in thinking within the course and assignments.
Work is, on the whole, clear, precise, and well-reasoned, though with occasional lapses.
In A level work terms and concepts are used accurately and effectively on a consistent basis. The work demonstrates a mind beginning to take charge of its thinking as self assessment is rigorously completed and improvements resulting from assessment are evident. In A level work intellectual standards are consistently and appropriately applied to elements of reasoning. Examples of this include clearly stating purpose, asking relevant, clear questions, using accurate, precise information, and drawing logical conclusions. A level work is demonstrated when intellectual skills are consistently and vigorously practiced.
