BHT2209 INTERNATIONAL TOURISM ASSIGNMENT
MAY SEMESTER 2016
ASSIGNMENT RUBRICS
Marks
13 -15 Marks (Excellent)

It is exceptional in every way.

It is well organized and all claims are supported.
It begins with a solid introduction that contains a clear thesis, is followed by body paragraphs that
contain clear topic sentences with clear and detailed support, and ends with an effective conclusion.
Content is thorough and lacking in no area.
There are no (or few) errors in tone, APA format, mechanics, grammar, and content.
10-12 Marks (Very Good)
It is above adequate in most areas.
In the areas where it is not above adequate, it is still entirely acceptable.
The majority of the essay is clear, focused, and well detailed, but there may be a few areas requiring
further development.
While it may contain a few errors with tone, APA format mechanics, grammar, and/or content, these
errors are not egregious enough to detract from the overall point being made.
7-9 Marks (Good)

It is adequate in most areas, but exceptional in none.

It is clear although probably lacking in both control and command.
Organization may be a slight problem but can be fixed.
The paragraphs provide support but are generally underdeveloped.
There may be multiple errors in tone, APA format, mechanics, grammar, and content, but these errors
do not, for the most part, detract from the overall writing.
4-6 Marks (Limited)

It is lacking in a majority of areas.

It is generally unorganized and unfocused.
The thesis is neither clear nor controls the entire essay.
Most of the essay is underdeveloped.
There are frequent errors in tone, APA format, mechanics, grammar, and/or content that distract from
the content being provided.
Its only saving grace is that, despite all of the errors, there appears to be a legitimate effort put forth by
the student.
1-3 Mark (Poor)

It generally needs little explanation.

There are significant problems throughout.
It is often lacking, and the argument, if there is one, wanders and is unorganized.
It shows no understanding of basic essay structure, and there are significant errors in tone, APA format,
mechanics, grammar, and/or content.
The effort on the part of the student is questionable, at best.
0 Mark

No submission.
