Research Question
|
Develop a clearly articulated research question
|
Sets up and articulates and interesting question
|
Poses a clear research question
|
Presents a small, narrow research question
|
Does not lay out the research question or the research question does not follow from the statement problem
|
|
Knowledge of the disciplines selected
|
Comprehensive
|
Show the relevance of the concepts of more than one discipline to analyze the main question addressed by the paper
|
There is a strong articulation between the research, the analysis, and the concepts of the chosen disciplines
|
The conceptual frameworks are well selected but they are not used to full advantage
|
The concepts of the chosen disciplines are used superficially
|
There is a disconnect between the concepts and methods of the chosen disciplines and the research question
|
|
Awareness of significant scholarship in the disciplines selected
|
Bibliography
|
Show awareness and command of significant authors/literature in the chosen disciplines
|
The bibliography includes the key woks and authors in the chosen disciplines. The body of the paper shows familiarity with the works
|
The bibliography includes the key works and authors but the body of the paper offers insufficient evidence of full familiarity with the cited works
|
The bibliography includes only some of the key works and authors and they are superficially mentioned in the body of the paper
|
Neither the bibliography nor the body of the paper demonstrate familiarity with the key works and authors
|
|
Clear professional writing
|
Body of the paper
|
Consistent use of the concepts and methods of more than one discipline as an integral part of the project |
The concepts of the selected disciplines are clearly articulated to analyze the main question addressed by the paper |
Although the concepts are clear and the research is presented in an organized fashion, the concepts are not seamlessly integrated to the analysis of the research |
The understanding of the concepts and methods is implicit but is not clearly articulated
|
There is no evidence that the student understands the concepts and methods that s/he is using |
