If you write on the topic at all, no matter how poorly, your essay will receive at least a one. And since the essays are all graded against each other instead of the perfect ideal, some will receive a six. Here is a summary of the rubric that will be used to grade your essay: Score of 6 General Impression - outstanding Mastery – clear and consistent Errors – few, if any Point of View – effectively and insightfully developed Critical Thinking - outstanding Evidence and Support – clearly appropriate Organization – effective, focused Coherence – smooth progression of ideas Use of Language – skillful, varied, accurate, apt

TA Services Recommended Links Developing and Teaching a Course: Writing Across the Curriculumand in Your Own Course What is Writing Across the Curriculum? What are the potential benefits of WAC? How can I begin to integrate writing into my course? What constitutes worthwhile writing assignments? ... Where can I get further information? What is Writing Across the Curriculum? Over the past twenty years, Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) programs have taken root in universities and colleges throughout the United States and Canada. As early as 1984, a survey of over 2,700 schools showed that 38 percent offered WAC programs and another 10 percent were planning offerings of their own. Since then, universities and colleges have continued to see WAC as a valuable way to enhance teaching and learning on their campuses, and this pedagogical movement continues to grow. Why Writing Across the Curriculum? How exactly does it enhance teaching and learning at the college level? The WAC movement is a response to a "perceived deficiency in literacy" among university students. In order to correct this inadequacy, administrators and teachers have looked to writing as a tool to enhance the learning of course content, to help students participate in academic discourse, and as a way to bolster students' ability to analyze, synthesize, and communicate important ideas, materials, and concepts to others. Both intellectually and professionally, improved writing skills are increasingly viewed as key skills students should take with them into the "real world."

Grammar and Mechanics A. Grammar and Mechanics B. General Format C. Style PREFACE This guide is not intended to replace the traditional style manual or writer's handbook. It is, rather, meant to supplement such guides by advising students of the writing practices, policies, and standards currently adhered to in English courses at Oberlin College. In addition to setting forth basic guidelines to which we, the members of the department, subscribe, we will discuss the nature and purpose of the more typical writing assignments made in English courses. In other words, we will briefly attempt to answer in advance the familiar question, "What do you really want in this paper?" Without a doubt, planning and executing a critical essay or research paper is easier as well as more meaningful when writers understand what the exercise is intended to demonstrate about their ability to deal with the literature. Yet for one reason or another there is often a "failure to communicate" between teacher and student in this area. In the same vein, we hope that the appearance of this guide will encourage greater communication between student and teacher regarding all aspects of paper writing. Many of the items dealt with here will by design be discussed as briefly as possible, so that the guide will remain streamlined and accessible. It is thus very likely that clarification of finer points will be needed. In such cases the instructor for the course is the most reliable guide and should be freely consulted.

59. Mechanics mechanics are the technical things about grammar, spelling, punctuation, As a general rule, a number beginning a sentence is written out. http://agcomwww.tamu.edu/market/training/power/mechanics.html

Mechanics Mechanics are the technical things about grammar, spelling, punctuation, and other aspects of writing that make a big difference in how well your writing is received. Mechanical mistakes damage the credibility of your information by making it seem carelessly or hastily put together. Mechanical correctness, on the other hand, makes your information trustworthy, believable, and well thought-outbut it makes you look good, too! Time Use numerals (figures, not words) except for noon and midnight. Use a colon to separate hours from minutes, such as 10 a.m., 3 p.m., 4:30 p.m. Use periods and lower-case letters with a.m. and p.m. (not AM or P.M.). You state the time to be exact, so don't add redundancies: 9 a.m., Jan. 25. Months and Years Capitalize the names of months. When a month is used with a specific date, you can abbreviate it (Jan., Feb.). Spell the month out when using it alone. (Example: The food show is set for March.) When a phrase lists only a month and a year, don't separate the year with commas. But if there is a month, a day, and a year, use the commas. Examples: January 1998 was the wettest month on record.
