Medium Value
(40-50 points)
· Research: Student answered “part”, some or most of the
question presented., but not all. Student did “some” research on
the subject matter but not enough detail or properly “spotting
the legal issue.
· Identification/Use of Terms: Student identified/spotted SOME
advanced networking technology concepts within the
Telecommunications, Networking and Information Technology
industry, BUT did not mention and discuss some key terms that
are relevant to the topic being discussed.
· Textbook Incorporation/Definitions/Concepts: Student utilized
a few definitions and advanced networking concepts from
textbook, but had low to medium incorporation and application
of key terms and concepts from the textbook, that are relevant
to the specific technology being discussed. Student could have
applied more usage of relevant terms from the textbook into
their paper.
· Discussed Pros & Cons of Technology: Student did some
contrast and comparison and briefly discussed arguments for
“both sides” of the implementation and/or consideration of the
technology being discussed/proposed. BUT student could have
explored and discussed argument for the pros and cons of the
technology being discussed/proposed in more detail.
· Citation/Sources/References: Student did not properly cite all
sources. Student listed some sources and citations properly but

not all.
· Grammar & Punctuation Accuracy: Student had a few
grammatical, punctuation and/or spelling errors in their
paper/writing assignment.
· Organization/Neatness/Presentation: Student formatting of
paper was somewhat neat, but could have been more organized
and neater in appearance. More use of Microsoft Word advanced
features could have bee used to enhance the appearance and
presentation of the paper. (writing out the question –THEN

·
Medium Quality Research & Writing Skills The paper is
reasonably clear, focused, and well supported; ideas are
adequately developed through details and examples.
Organization and form are appropriate, and ideas are generally
presented coherently. The voice of the writer contributes to the
writer’s meaning through appropriate and varied sentence
structure and word choices. Surface features do not interfere
with understanding or distract from meaning. The writer has
clearly brought the reader through properly cited academic
constructs and experiential documentation, but has not fully
developed the area of critical analysis. OR
The paper has some focus and support; ideas and content may
be developed with limited details and examples. The writing
may be somewhat disorganized or too obviously structured. The
voice of the writer is generally absent; basic sentence structure
and limited vocabulary convey a simple message. Surface
feature errors may reduce understanding and interfere with
meaning. The content areas of academic constructs are limited
and large generalizations are made. Critical analysis is all but
absent from the paper.

Low Value
30-40 points (or below)
· Research: Student’s paper was NOT well researched and did
not involve enough thoughtful and detailed analysis
· Identification/Use of Terms: Student did NOT clearly identify
nor spot relevant and advanced networking technology concepts
within the Telecommunications, Networking and Information
Technology industry.
· Textbook Incorporation/Definitions/Concepts: Student did
NOT utilize definitions and advanced networking concepts from
textbook and did not incorporate nor apply enough specific
technology concepts within the paper.
· Discussed Pros & Cons of Technology: Student did not do
enough or any contrasting and comparative arguments for “both
sides” of the implementation and/or consideration of the
technology being discussed/proposed. Student did not discuss
enough or any arguments for the pros and cons of the
technology being discussed/proposed.
· Citation/Sources/References: Student did not properly
state/cite enough or any sources from the textbook, industry
magazines or other relevant sources.
· Grammar & Punctuation Accuracy: Student had some, many or
too many grammatical, punctuation and spelling errors in the
assignment.
· Organization/Neatness/Presentation: Student’s formatting of
paper was not neat enough, nor organized. Student could
broader use and application of MS. Word features in order to
make their paper more presentable and readable.
· Low Quality Research & Writing Skills: The paper has little
focus and development; few details and examples support ideas
and content. There is little discernible shape and no direction.

The writer’s tone is flat. Awkward sentence structure and
inadequate vocabulary interfere with understanding. Limited
control of surface features makes paper difficult to read.
Critical analysis is absent, and segments of the paper are given
to rambling descriptions of life experience without academic
context.
