The document provides instructions for two separate assignments. The first assignment asks students to discuss diabetes prevention strategies in developing countries with limited funds in a 1-page paper. The second assignment asks students to describe natural and man-made disaster risks in their community and identify a nursing role for one identified disaster scenario in a short paper. The document also provides instructions for a PowerPoint presentation assessing the health of a movie character using Gordon's Functional Health Patterns and presenting nursing diagnoses and interventions.

20.0 %Organization and Effectiveness

11. 10.0 %Language Use and Audience Awareness (includes
sentence construction, word choice, etc.)
Inappropriate word choice and lack of variety in language use
are evident. Writer appears to be unaware of audience. Use of
primer prose indicates writer either does not apply figures of
speech or uses them inappropriately.
Some distracting inconsistencies in language choice (register)
and/or word choice are present. The writer exhibits some lack of
control in using figures of speech appropriately.
Language is appropriate to the targeted audience for the most
part.
The writer is clearly aware of audience, uses a variety of
appropriate vocabulary for the targeted audience, and uses
figures of speech to communicate clearly.
The writer uses a variety of sentence constructions, figures of
speech, and word choice in distinctive and creative ways that
are appropriate to purpose, discipline, and scope.
5.0 %Evaluating and Documenting Sources (in-text citations for
paraphrasing and direct quotes, references page listing and
formatting, as appropriate to assignment and style)
Contains no title slide, no references section, and no correctly
cited references within the body of the presentation.
Title slide is incomplete or inaccurate. References section
includes sources, but many citation errors. Citations are
included within the body of the presentation but with many
errors.
Title slide has minor errors. References section includes
sources, but they are not consistently cited correctly. Citations
are included within the body of the presentation but with some
errors.
Title slide is complete. References section includes correctly
cited sources with minimal errors. Correct citations are included
within the body of the presentation.
Title slide is complete. References section includes correctly

12. cited sources. Correct citations are included within the body of
the presentation.
5.0 %Mechanics of Writing (includes spelling, punctuation,
grammar, language use)
Surface errors are pervasive enough that they impede
communication of meaning. Inappropriate word choice and/or
sentence construction are used.
Frequent and repetitive mechanical errors distract the reader.
Inconsistencies in language choice (register), sentence
structure, and/or word choice are present.
Some mechanical errors or typos are present, but are not overly
distracting to the reader. Correct sentence structure and
audience-appropriate language are used.
Prose is largely free of mechanical errors, although a few may
be present. A variety of sentence structures and effective
figures of speech are used.
Writer is clearly in command of standard, written, academic
English.
10.0 %Format
10.0 %Layout
The layout is cluttered, confusing, and does not use spacing,
headings, and subheadings to enhance the readability. The text
is extremely difficult to read with long blocks of text, small
point size for fonts, and inappropriate contrasting colors. Poor
use of headings, subheadings, indentations, or bold formatting
is evident.
The layout shows some structure, but appears cluttered and busy
or distracting with large gaps of white space or a distracting
background. Overall readability is difficult due to lengthy
paragraphs, too many different fonts, dark or busy background,
overuse of bold, or lack of appropriate indentations of text.
The layout uses horizontal and vertical white space
appropriately. Sometimes the fonts are easy to read, but in a few

13. places the use of fonts, italics, bold, long paragraphs, color, or
busy background detracts and does not enhance readability.
The layout background and text complement each other and
enable the content to be easily read. The fonts are easy to read
and point size varies appropriately for headings and text.
The layout is visually pleasing and contributes to the overall
message with appropriate use of headings, subheadings, and
white space. Text is appropriate in length for the target
audience and to the point. The background and colors enhance
the readability of the text.
