Research is poorly documented and ineffectively used to develop the paper. F. Unacceptable Work. An F paper presents simplistic, inappropriate, or incoherent ideas and lacks focus. It tends to be undeveloped and disorganized. Paragraphs are incoherent, and paragraph breaks often do not correspond to shifts in topic.
Statements are unsupported, repetitive, or irrelevant.
Sentence structure and word choice are inaccurate, confusing, or awkward. There are many grammar, punctuation, spelling, and usage errors that often prevent comprehension. Research is not evident, or sources are undocumented, i.e., plagiarized. Plagiarism will result in failing the assignment and possibly the course. Please see the Pace Undergraduate Catalog for further discussion of penalties for plagiarism.
