IRB que deben ir acompañados de la propuesta.
Descripción del Proceso de Evaluación:
El facilitador debe de integrar el uso del laboratorio de lenguaje o laboratorio de lenguaje
electrónico en las rúbricas de evaluación. Las rúbricas del lenguaje para escuchar, hablar,
leer, y escribir se integran en el avalúo de los estudiantes. Debido a la naturaleza de
nuestro programa de Discipline-Based Dual Language Immersion Model®, el mismo está
diseñado para desarrollar las destrezas de idioma de los estudiantes como futuros
profesionales bilingües. Por lo tanto, toda evaluación de destrezas escritas y orales estará
basada en un 30% de idioma y un 70% de contenido. El facilitador utilizará el anexo A
para identificar los niveles de las destrezas de idioma (escuchar, hablar, leer, y escribir)
de cada estudiante utilizando los niveles de habilidad “Can Do.” El facilitador es
NURS 502 Nursing Science and the Research Process 7
09-10-2012
responsable de diferenciar su enseñanza para llenar las necesidades de idioma de cada
estudiante para que puedan obtener el máximo aprendizaje y provecho académico. Las
tablas valorativas en el anexo B se usarán para evaluar las destrezas analíticas de
escritura. El portafolio tiene que cumplir con los estándares establecidos. El facilitador
del curso le proveerá el estudiante el MANUAL DE PORTAFOLIOS.
Escala:
100-90 A 89-80 B 79-70 C 69-60 D 59-00 F

Descripción de las Normas del Curso
1. Este curso sigue el modelo “Discipline-Based Dual Language Immersion
Model®” del Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez, Inc. el cual está diseñado
para promover el desarrollo de cada estudiante como un profesional bilingüe.
Cada taller será facilitado en inglés y español, utilizando el modelo 50/50. Esto
significa que cada taller deberá ser conducido enteramente en el lenguaje
especificado. Los lenguajes serán alternados en cada taller para asegurar que el
curso se ofrezca 50% en inglés y 50% en español.
2. El curso es conducido en formato acelerado y bilingüe, esto requiere que los
http://www.someaddress.com/full/url/.
09-10-2012
NURS 502 Nursing Science and the Research Process 11
estudiantes sean sumamente organizados, enfocados y que se preparen antes de
cada taller de acuerdo al módulo. El estudiante debe hacer todo esfuerzo para
desarrollar las destrezas en los dos idiomas usando los recursos de lenguaje
disponibles dentro y fuera de la institución. El convertirse en un profesional
bilingüe es un proceso complejo y exigente. Cada taller requiere un promedio de
diez (10) horas de preparación y en ocasiones requiere más para poder tener éxito
lingüístico y académico.
3. La asistencia a todos los talleres es obligatoria. El estudiante que se ausente al
taller deberá presentar una excusa razonable al facilitador. El facilitador evaluará
si la ausencia es justificada y decidirá como el estudiante repondrá el trabajo
perdido, de ser necesario. El facilitador puede elegir una de estas dos alternativas:
(a) permitirle al estudiante reponer el trabajo o (b) asignarle trabajo adicional
además del trabajo que el estudiante tenga que reponer.
Toda tarea a ser completada antes del taller deberá ser entregada en la fecha
asignada. El facilitador ajustará la nota de las tareas repuestas.
4. La asistencia y participación en actividades de la clase y en presentaciones orales
es extremadamente importante pues éstas no se pueden reponer. Si el estudiante
provee una excusa válida y verificable, el facilitador determinará una actividad
equivalente a evaluar que sustituya la misma. Esta actividad deberá incluir el
mismo contenido y componentes del lenguaje como la presentación oral o
actividad que requiera repuesta.
09-10-2012
NURS 502 Nursing Science and the Research Process 12
5. En actividades grupales, el grupo será evaluado por su trabajo final. Sin embargo,
cada miembro de grupo deberá participar y cooperar para lograr un trabajo de
excelencia. Los estudiantes también recibirán una calificación individual.
6. Se espera que todo trabajo escrito sea de la autoría de cada estudiante y no
plagiado. Se requiere que todo trabajo sometido al facilitador cumpla con las
reglas para citar apropiadamente o que esté parafraseado y citado dando crédito al
autor. Todo estudiante debe ser el autor de su propio trabajo. Todo trabajo que
sea plagiado, copiado o presente trazos del trabajo de otro estudiante o autor será
calificado con cero. El servicio de SafeAssign TM
de Blackboard será utilizado
por los facilitadores para verificar la autoría de los trabajos escritos de los
estudiantes. Es responsabilidad del estudiante de leer la política de plagio de su
universidad. Como estudiante de UT, usted deberá leer la Sección 11.1 del
Manual del Estudiante.
Se espera un comportamiento ético en todas las actividades del curso. Esto implica
que TODOS los trabajos tienen que ser originales y que para toda referencia
utilizada deberá indicarse la fuente, bien sea mediante citas o bibliografía utilizando
el estilo APA, versión 6. No se tolerará el plagio y, en caso de que se detecte casos
del mismo, el estudiante se expone a recibir cero en el trabajo y a ser referido
al Comité de Disciplina de la institución. Los estudiantes deben observar aquellas
prácticas dirigidas para evitar incurrir en el plagio de documentos y trabajos pues
va en contra de la ética profesional.
7. Para el facilitador poder hacer cambios a las actividades del módulo o guía de
estudio, deberá ser aprobado por el Director de Facultad y Currículo antes de la
09-10-2012
NURS 502 Nursing Science and the Research Process 13
primera clase. Es requisito que el facilitador discuta y entregue una copia de los
cambios a los estudiantes al principio del primer taller.
8. El facilitador establecerá los medios para contactar a los estudiantes proveyendo
su correo electrónico de SUAGM, teléfonos, día y horario disponibles.
9. El uso de celulares está prohibido durante las sesiones de clase; de haber una
necesidad, deberá permanecer en vibración o en silencio.
10. La visita de niños y parientes no registrados en el curso no está permitida en el
salón de clases.
11. Todo estudiante está sujeto a las políticas y normas de conducta y
comportamiento que rigen al SUAGM, al curso y a un adulto profesional.

Filosofía y Metodología Educativa
Este curso está basado en la filosofía educativa del Constructivismo. El Constructivismo
es una filosofía de aprendizaje fundamentada en la premisa, de que, reflexionando a
través de nuestras experiencias, podemos construir nuestro propio entendimiento sobre el
mundo en el que vivimos.
Cada uno de nosotros genera sus propias “reglas “y “modelos mentales” que utilizamos
para darle sentido a nuestras experiencias. Aprender, por lo tanto, es simplemente el
proceso de ajustar nuestros modelos mentales para poder entender nuevas experiencias.
Como facilitadores, nuestro enfoque es el de mantener una conexión entre los hechos con
las experiencias y fomentar un nuevo entendimiento en los estudiantes. También,
intentamos adaptar nuestras estrategias de enseñanza a las respuestas de nuestros
estudiantes y motivar a los mismos a analizar, interpretar, predecir información y
aplicarla a la vida diaria.
PRINCIPIOS DEL CONSTRUCTIVISMO:
1. El aprendizaje es una búsqueda de significados. Por lo tanto, el aprendizaje debe
comenzar con situaciones en las cuales los estudiantes estén buscando activamente
construir un significado.
09-10-2012
NURS 502 Nursing Science and the Research Process 16
2. Para construir “un significado” se requiere comprender todas las partes: globales y
específicas (“from whole to parts”). Ambas partes deben entenderse en el contexto
del todo. Por lo tanto, el proceso de aprendizaje se enfoca en los conceptos primarios
en contexto y no en hechos aislados.
3. Para enseñar bien, debemos entender los modelos mentales que los estudiantes
utilizan para percibir el mundo y las presunciones que ellos hacen para apoyar dichos
modelos.
4. El propósito del aprendizaje, es para un individuo, el construir su propio significado,
y no sólo el de memorizar las respuestas “correctas” y repetir el significado de otra
persona. Como la educación es intrínsecamente interdisciplinaria, la única forma
válida para asegurar el aprendizaje es hacer de la evaluación parte esencial de dicho
proceso, asegurando que el mismo provea a los estudiantes con la información sobre
la calidad de su aprendizaje.
5. La evaluación debe servir como una herramienta de auto-análisis.
6. Proveer herramientas y ambientes que ayuden a los estudiantes a interpretar las
múltiples perspectivas que existen en el mundo.
7. El aprendizaje debe ser controlado internamente y analizado por el estudiante.

students will be able to:
09-10-2012
NURS 502 Nursing Science and the Research Process 19
Develop a written clinical nursing research proposal.
Comply with all required written IRB documentation which will accompany the
research proposal.
E-L ab (Language Lab) Requirements (Tell Me More, Net Tutor, Wimba Voice, Virtual
Library, & Voice E-mail.)
Language Lab Minimum Requirement: Students must demonstrate that they have
complied with the hours of language lab or e-lab usage for each language (English and
Spanish) per course. The facilitator may require a higher number of hours for language
lab practice based on the language needs for listening, speaking, reading, and writing
skills in either or both languages. The total amount of language lab or e-lab hours is
integrated in the activities for each workshop in the module. (see Appendix C)
Description of the Evaluation Process: Integrate the use of the language lab and e-lab to
all evaluation rubrics used in the instructional module. Portfolio Performance
Assessment must be one of the evaluation instruments used in the module and
throughout the content of all workshops and appendices. This instrument must follow
established guidelines. Our Discipline-Based Dual Language Immersion Model® is
designed to further develop the language skills of our students as future dual language
professionals. Therefore, all evaluations (rubrics) for written and oral skills will be based
on 30% for language and 70% for content. The facilitator must refer to appendix A to
09-10-2012
NURS 502 Nursing Science and the Research Process 20
identify each student’s level of language skills (listen, speak, read, and write) based on
the proficiency levels of what a student “Can Do” in English. It is the responsibility of
the facilitator to differentiate his/her teaching to meet the language needs of each student
to ensure maximum learning and academic performance. Refer to the rubric in appendix
B to evaluate the writing skills. The course facilitator will provide the student the
Portfolio Performance Assessment Handbook.
The final grade for the course will be determined by the percentage earned for
demonstration of learning and achievement of course outcomes, and the learning and
mastery of language skills (English and Spanish). The student’s final grade will reflect
30% of language proficiency and 70% of content knowledge.
Scale:
100-90 A 89-80 B 79-70 C 69-60 D 59-00 F
Evaluation
The final grade for each student will be based on the evaluation of the following
activities:
Research Proposal Oral Presentation 10%
Preparation of Written Documents to be Submitted to AGMUS-IRB 30%
Critique of a Research Article Published in a Peer-reviewed Journal 10%
Participation in Seminars, Assignments, E-Lab and Preparation of Portafolio 10%
Final Written Individual Clinical Research Proposal 40%
Total 100%

NURS 502 Nursing Science and the Research Process 22
Description of Course Policies
1. This course follows the Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez, Inc. Discipline-
Based Dual Language Immersion Model® designed to promote each student’s
development as a Dual Language Professional. Workshops will be facilitated in
either English or Spanish, strictly using the 50/50 model. This means that each
workshop will be conducted entirely in the language specified for the workshop. The
language used in each workshop needs to be alternated to insure that 50% of the
course is conducted in English and 50% in Spanish. To maintain this balance, the
course module will indicate that both languages must be used during the fifth
workshop, dividing the workshop activities between the two languages. The first two
hours will be in Spanish and the last two hours in English. The 50/50 model does
not apply to language courses where the delivery of instruction must be conducted in
the language taught (Spanish or English only).
2. The course is conducted in an accelerated and dual language format. This requires
that students prepare in advance for each workshop according to the course module.
Students must be structured, organized, committed, and focused to ensure linguistic
and academic success. In order to achieve proficiency expectations in English and in
Spanish, the student must strive to take advantage of all language resources in the
university and in their community since becoming a dual language professional is a
complex and challenging task. Each workshop requires an average of ten hours of
preparation, but could require more.
3. Attendance to all class sessions is mandatory. A student who is absent to a workshop
must present a reasonable excuse to the facilitator who in turn will evaluate the reason
09-10-2012
NURS 502 Nursing Science and the Research Process 23
for the absence. If it is justified, the facilitator will decide how the student will make
up the missing work, if applicable. The facilitator will decide on the following: allow
the student to make up the work, or allow the student to make up the work and assign
extra work to compensate for the missing class time.
Assignments required prior to the workshop must be completed and turned in on the
assigned date. The facilitator may decide to adjust the grade given for late
assignments and/or make-up work.
4. Student attendance and participation in oral presentations and special class activities
are extremely important as it is not possible to assure that they can be made up. If the
student provides a valid and verifiable excuse, the facilitator may determine a
substitute evaluation activity if he/she understands that an equivalent activity is
possible. This activity must include the same content and language components as the
oral presentation or special activity that was missed.
5. In cooperative learning activities, the group will be assessed for their final work as a
group. However, each member will have to collaborate to assure the success of the

6. It is expected that all written work will be solely that of the student and should not be
plagiarized. That is, the student must be the author of all work submitted. All quoted
or paraphrased material must be properly cited, with credit given to its author or
publisher. It should be noted that plagiarized writings are easily detectable and
students should not risk losing credit for material that is clearly not their own.
SafeAssignTM
, a Blackboard plagiarism deterrent service, will be used by the
facilitators to verify students’ ownership of written assignments. It is the
student’s responsibility to read the university’s plagiarism policy. If you are a UT
student, read Section 11.1 of the Student Manual, and if you belong to UMET or
UNE, refer to Chapter 13, Sections 36 and 36.1 of the respective manuals.
Ethical behavior is expected from the students in all course related activities. This
means that ALL papers submitted by the student must be original work, and that all
references used will be properly cited or mentioned in the bibliography. Plagiarism
will not be tolerated and, in case of detecting an incidence, the student will obtain a
zero in the assignment or activity and could be referred to the Discipline Committee.
7. In order for the Facilitator to make changes to activities and the study guide, the
Faculty and Curriculum Director must approve such changes before the first day of
class. The Facilitator must discuss the approved changes with students in the first
class workshop. A written copy of the changes must also be provided to students at
the beginning of the first workshop.
8. The facilitator will establish a means of contacting students by providing the SUAGM
e-mail address, phone number, hours to be contacted, and days available.

9. The use of cellular phones is prohibited during sessions; if there is a need to have one,
it must be on vibrate or silent mode during class session.
10. Children or family members that are not registered in the course are not allowed to
the classrooms.
11. All students are subject to the policies regarding behavior at the university
community established by the institution, and in this course.

RESEARCH LAW COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENT:
This course will require that the facilitator assist each student in the planning of a
research proposal, including administering a questionnaire or an interview. The
facilitator and each student must comply with the norms and procedures of the
Institutional Review Board Office (IRB) and ask for authorization. Each student is
required to receive IRB approval to conduct the individual research study prior to
registration in next Research course, NURS 503. To access the forms from the IRB
Office or for additional information, visit the following link:
http://www.suagm.edu/ac_aa_re_ofi_formularios.asp and select the forms needed.
Furthermore, in this Web site the student/facilitator will find instructions for
several online certifications related to IRB processes. The facilitator and each
student must obtain three certifications. These certifications include: IRB
Institutional Review Board, Health Information Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA), and the Responsibility Conduct for Research Act (RCR).

Teaching Philosophy and Methodology
The activities for the course reflect the educational philosophy of Constructivism.
Constructivism is an educational philosophy founded on the premise that, by reflecting
on our experiences, we construct our own understanding of the world in which we live.
Each of us generates our own “rules” and “mental models,” which we use to make sense
of our experiences. Learning, therefore, is simply the process of adjusting our mental
models to accommodate new experiences.
One of the main goals facilitators have is assisting students in making connections
between their prior knowledge of facts, and fostering new understanding that is relevant
to real live experiences. We will also attempt to tailor our teaching strategies to student
responses and encourage students to analyze, interpret, and predict information.
CONSTRUCTIVISM GUIDING PRINCIPLES:
1. Learning is a search for meaning. Therefore, learning must start with the issues
around which students are actively trying to construct meaning.
2. Meaning requires understanding “wholes” as well as “parts”. The “parts” must be
understood in the context of “wholes”. Therefore, the learning process focuses on
primary concepts, not isolated facts.
3. In order to teach well, we must understand the mental models that students use to
perceive the world, and the assumptions they make to support those models.
4. The purpose of learning is for an individual to construct his or her own meaning, not
just memorize the "right" answers and regurgitate someone else's meaning. Since
education is inherently interdisciplinary, the only valuable way to measure learning is
09-10-2012
NURS 502 Nursing Science and the Research Process 28
to make assessment part of the learning process, thus ensuring that it provides
students with information on the quality of their learning.
5. Evaluation should serve as a self-analysis tool.
6. Provide tools and environments that help learners interpret the multiple perspectives
of the world.
7. Learning should be internally controlled and mediated by the learner.

WORKSHOP EIGHT
Building an Evidence Base for Nursing Practice
Specific Content Objectives:
1. Differentiate between conducting a literature review as an early step in designing and
conducting a new study and the conduct and evaluation of integration projects that are
also considered research.
2. Develop a dissemination plan for the proposed research project.
3. Identify and explain the differences between conducting a meta-analysis for
quantitative research and meta-synthesis for qualitative research.
4. Demonstrate excellent written and oral skills in both languages through the
integration of the different components of a research proposal.
Specific Language Objectives:
1. Listening: After listening to the facilitator’s discussion on the integration of concepts
in a research proposal and after listening to other students’ presentations, each student
will be able to provide a poster presentation summarizing the proposed project.
2. Speaking: Each student will prepare to share with the group a research proposal poster
presentation, discussing the content orally and clearly pronouncing appropriate English
language.
3. Reading: After examining different databases for nurse researchers, reading a variety
of examples of research protocols, and discussing important points with the facilitator
and other students, each student will refine their research proposals by integrating all
sections of the document following the rubric criteria and APA guidelines.
4. Writing: Students will complete all written exercises in Resource Manual for Chapter
25 and 26, add to Portfolio, and come prepared to discuss in class with the whole group.

The writing is exceptionally clear, focused and interesting. It holds the reader’s attention throughout. Main ideas stand out and are developed by strong support and rich details suitable to audience and purpose. The writing is characterized by • clarity, focus, and control. • main idea(s) that stand out.
• supporting, relevant, carefully selected details; when appropriate, use of resources provides strong, accurate, credible support • a thorough, balanced, in-depth explanation/ exploration of the topic; the writing makes connections and shares insights. • content and selected details that are well suited to audience and purpose.

4
The writing is clear and focused. The reader can easily understand the main ideas. Support is present, although it may be limited or rather general. The writing is characterized by • an easily identifiable purpose. • clear main idea(s)
• supporting details that are relevant, but may be overly general or limited in places; when appropriate, resources are used to provide accurate support. • a topic that is explored/explained, although developmental details may occasionally be out of balance with the main idea(s); some connections and insights may be present. • content and selected details that are relevant, but perhaps not consistently well chosen for audience and purpose.
3
The reader can understand the main ideas, although they may be overly broad or simplistic, and the results may not be effective. Supporting detail is often limited, insubstantial, overly general, or occasionally slightly off-topic. The writing is characterized by • an easily identifiable purpose and main idea(s).
• predictable or overly-obvious main ideas or plot; conclusions or main points seem to echo observations heard elsewhere. • support that is attempted; but developmental details that are often limited in scope, uneven, somewhat off- topic, predictable, or overly general. • details that may not be well-grounded in credible resources; they may be based on clichés, stereotypes or questionable sources of information. • difficulties when moving from general observations to specifics.
2
Main ideas and purpose are somewhat unclear or development is attempted but minimal. The writing is characterized by • a purpose and main idea(s) that may require extensive inferences by the reader. • minimal development; insufficient details. • irrelevant details that clutter the text. • extensive repetition of detail.
1 The writing lacks a central idea or purpose. The writing is characterized by • ideas that are extremely limited or simply unclear.
• attempts at development that are minimal or non-existent; the paper is too short to demonstrate the development of an idea.

Trait #2: Organization
6
The organization enhances the central idea(s) and its development. The order and structure are compelling and move the reader through the text easily. The writing is characterized by • effective, perhaps creative, sequencing; the organizational structure fits the topic, and the writing is easy to follow. • a strong, inviting beginning that draws the reader in and a strong satisfying sense of resolution or closure. • smooth, effective transitions among all elements (sentences, paragraphs, and ideas). • details that fit where placed

4
Organization is clear and coherent. Order and structure are present, but may seem formulaic. The writing is characterized by • clear sequencing. • an organization that may be predictable. • a recognizable, developed beginning that may not be particularly inviting; a developed conclusion that may lack subtlety. • a body that is easy to follow with details that fit where placed. • transitions that may be stilted or formulaic. • organization which helps the reader, despite some weaknesses.
3
An attempt has been made to organize the writing; however, the overall structure is inconsistent or skeletal. The writing is characterized by • attempts at sequencing, but the order or the relationship among ideas may occasionally be unclear. • a beginning and an ending which, although present, are either undeveloped or too obvious (e.g. “My topic is...”, “These are all the reasons that…”) • transitions that sometimes work. The same few transitional devices (e.g., coordinating conjunctions, numbering, etc.) may be overused. • a structure that is skeletal or too rigid. • placement of details that may not always be effective. • organization which lapses in some places, but helps the reader in others.
2
The writing lacks a clear organizational structure. An occasional organizational device is discernible; however, the writing is either difficult to follow and the reader has to reread substantial portions, or the piece is simply too short to demonstrate organizational skills. The writing is characterized by • some attempts at sequencing, but the order or the relationship among ideas is frequently unclear. • a missing or extremely undeveloped beginning, body, and/or ending. • a lack of transitions, or when present, ineffective or overused. • a lack of an effective organizational structure. • details that seem to be randomly placed, leaving the reader frequently confused.
1
The writing lacks coherence; organization seems haphazard and disjointed. Even after rereading, the reader remains confused. The writing is characterized by • a lack of effective sequencing. • a failure to provide an identifiable beginning, body and/or ending. • a lack of transitions. • pacing that is consistently awkward; the reader feels either mired down in trivia or rushed along too rapidly. • a lack of organization which ultimately obscures or distorts the main point.

The writer has chosen a voice appropriate for the topic, purpose and audience. The writer seems deeply committed to the topic, and there is an exceptional sense of “writing to be read.” The writing is expressive, engaging, or sincere. The writing is characterized by • an effective level of closeness to or distance from the audience (e.g., a narrative should have a strong personal voice, while an expository piece may require extensive use of outside resources and a more academic voice; nevertheless, both should be engaging, lively, or interesting. Technical writing may require greater distance.). • an exceptionally strong sense of audience; the writer seems to be aware of the reader and of how to communicate the message most effectively. The reader may discern the writer behind the words and feel a sense of interaction. • a sense that the topic has come to life; when appropriate, the writing may show originality, liveliness, honesty, conviction, excitement, humor, or suspense.

4
A voice is present. The writer demonstrates commitment to the topic, and there may be a sense of “writing to be read.” In places, the writing is expressive, engaging, or sincere. The writing is characterized by • a questionable or inconsistent level of closeness to or distance from the audience.
• a sense of audience; the writer seems to be aware of the reader but has not consistently employed an appropriate voice. The reader may glimpse the writer behind the words and feel a sense of interaction in places. • liveliness, sincerity, or humor when appropriate; however, at times the writing may be either inappropriately casual or personal, or inappropriately formal and stiff.
3
The writer’s commitment to the topic seems inconsistent. A sense of the writer may emerge at times; however, the voice is either inappropriately personal or inappropriately impersonal. The writing is characterized by • a limited sense of audience; the writer’s awareness of the reader is unclear.
• an occasional sense of the writer behind the words; however, the voice may shift or disappear a line or two later and the writing become somewhat mechanical. • a limited ability to shift to a more objective voice when necessary.
2
The writing provides little sense of involvement or commitment. There is no evidence that the writer has chosen
a suitable voice. The writing is characterized by • little engagement of the writer; the writing tends to be largely flat, lifeless, stiff, or mechanical. • a voice that is likely to be overly informal and personal. • a lack of audience awareness; there is little sense of "writing to be read." • little or no hint of the writer behind the words. There is rarely a sense of interaction between reader and writer.

Trait #4: Word Choice
6
Words convey the intended message in an exceptionally interesting, precise, and natural way appropriate to audience and purpose. The writer employs a rich, broad range of words, which have been carefully chosen and thoughtfully placed for impact. The writing is characterized by • accurate, strong, specific words; powerful words energize the writing. • fresh, original expression; slang, if used, seems purposeful and is effective. • vocabulary that is striking and varied, but that is natural and not overdone. • ordinary words used in an unusual way. • words that evoke strong images; figurative language may be used.

• words that evoke clear images; figurative language may be used
4
Words effectively convey the intended message. The writer employs a variety of words that are functional and appropriate to audience and purpose. The writing is characterized by • words that work but do not particularly energize the writing. • expression that is functional; however, slang, if used, does not seem purposeful and is not particularly effective. • attempts at colorful language that may occasionally seem overdone. • occasional overuse of technical language or jargon. • rare experiments with language; however, the writing may have some fine moments and generally avoids clichés.
3
Language is quite ordinary, lacking interest, precision and variety, or may be inappropriate to audience and purpose in places. The writer does not employ a variety of words, producing a sort of “generic” paper filled with familiar words and phrases. The writing is characterized by • words that work, but that rarely capture the reader’s interest. • expression that seems mundane and general; slang, if used, does not seem purposeful and is not effective. • attempts at colorful language that seem overdone or forced. • words that are accurate for the most part, although misused words may occasionally appear, technical language or jargon may be overused or inappropriately used. • reliance on clichés and overused expressions.
2
Language is monotonous and/or misused, detracting from the meaning and impact. The writing is characterized by • words that are colorless, flat or imprecise.
• monotonous repetition or overwhelming reliance on worn expressions that repeatedly distract from the message. • images that are fuzzy or absent altogether.
1
The writing shows an extremely limited vocabulary or is so filled with misuses of words that the meaning is obscured. Only the most general kind of message is communicated because of vague or imprecise language. The writing is characterized by • general, vague words that fail to communicate. • an extremely limited range of words. • words that simply do not fit the text; they seem imprecise, inadequate, or just plain wrong.

The writing has an effective flow and rhythm. Sentences show a high degree of craftsmanship, with consistently strong and varied structure that makes expressive oral reading easy and enjoyable. The writing is characterized by • a natural, fluent sound; it glides along with one sentence flowing effortlessly into the next. • extensive variation in sentence structure, length, and beginnings that add interest to the text. • sentence structure that enhances meaning by drawing attention to key ideas or reinforcing relationships among ideas. • varied sentence patterns that create an effective combination of power and grace. • strong control over sentence structure; fragments, if used at all, work well. • stylistic control; dialogue, if used, sounds natural.

• control over sentence structure; fragments, if used at all, work well. • stylistic control; dialogue, if used sounds natural.
4
The writing flows; however, connections between phrases or sentences may be less than fluid. Sentence patterns are somewhat varied, contributing to ease in oral reading. The writing is characterized by • a natural sound; the reader can move easily through the piece, although it may lack a certain rhythm and grace. • some repeated patterns of sentence structure, length, and beginnings that may detract somewhat from overall impact. • strong control over simple sentence structures, but variable control over more complex sentences; fragments, if present, are usually effective. • occasional lapses in stylistic control; dialogue, if used, sounds natural for the most part, but may at times sound stilted or unnatural.
3
The writing tends to be mechanical rather than fluid. Occasional awkward constructions may force the reader to slow down or reread. The writing is characterized by • some passages that invite fluid oral reading; however, others do not. • some variety in sentences structure, length, and beginnings, although the writer falls into repetitive sentence patterns. • good control over simple sentence structures, but little control over more complex sentences; fragments, if present, may not be effective. • sentences which, although functional, lack energy. • lapses in stylistic control; dialogue, if used, may sound stilted or unnatural.
2
The writing tends to be either choppy or rambling. Awkward constructions often force the reader to slow down or reread. The writing is characterized by • significant portions of the text that are difficult to follow or read aloud. • sentence patterns that are monotonous (e.g., subject-verb or subject-verb-object). • a significant number of awkward, choppy, or rambling constructions.
1
The writing is difficult to follow or to read aloud. Sentences tend to be incomplete, rambling, or very awkward. The writing is characterized by • text that does not invite—and may not even permit—smooth oral reading. • confusing word order that is often jarring and irregular. • sentence structure that frequently obscures meaning. • sentences that are disjointed, confusing, or rambling.

Trait #6: Conventions
6
The writing demonstrates exceptionally strong control of standard writing conventions (e.g., punctuation, spelling, capitalization, paragraph breaks, grammar and usage) and uses them effectively to enhance communication. Errors are so few and so minor that the reader can easily skim right over them unless specifically searching for them. The writing is characterized by • strong control of conventions; manipulation of conventions may occur for stylistic effect. • strong, effective use of punctuation that guides the reader through the text. • correct spelling, even of more difficult words. • paragraph breaks that reinforce the organizational structure. • correct grammar and usage that contribute to clarity and style. • skill in using a wide range of conventions in a sufficiently long and complex piece. • little or no need for editing.

The writing demonstrates strong control of standard writing conventions (e.g., punctuation, spelling, capitalization, paragraph breaks, grammar and usage) and uses them effectively to enhance communication. Errors are so few and so minor that they do not impede readability. The writing is characterized by • strong control of conventions. • effective use of punctuation that guides the reader through the text. • correct spelling, even of more difficult words. • paragraph breaks that reinforce the organizational structure. • correct capitalization; errors, if any, are minor. • correct grammar and usage that contribute to clarity and style. • skill in using a wide range of conventions in a sufficiently long and complex piece. • little need for editing.
4
The writing demonstrates control of standard writing conventions (e.g., punctuation, spelling, capitalization, paragraph breaks, grammar and usage). Minor errors, while perhaps noticeable, do not impede readability. The writing is characterized by • control over conventions used, although a wide range is not demonstrated. • correct end-of-sentence punctuation, internal punctuation may sometimes be incorrect. • spelling that is usually correct, especially on common words. • basically sound paragraph breaks that reinforce the organizational structure. • correct capitalization; errors, if any, are minor. • occasional lapses in correct grammar and usage; problems are not severe enough to distort meaning or confuse the reader. • moderate need for editing.
3
The writing demonstrates limited control of standard writing conventions (e.g., punctuation, spelling, capitalization, paragraph breaks, grammar and usage). Errors begin to impede readability. The writing is characterized by • some control over basic conventions; the text may be too simple to reveal mastery. • end-of-sentence punctuation that is usually correct; however, internal punctuation contains frequent errors. • spelling errors that distract the reader; misspelling of common words occurs. • paragraphs that sometimes run together or begin at ineffective places. • capitalization errors. • errors in grammar and usage that do not block meaning but do distract the reader. • significant need for editing.
2
The writing demonstrates little control of standard writing conventions. Frequent, significant errors impede readability. The writing is characterized by • little control over basic conventions. • many end-of-sentence punctuation errors; internal punctuation contains frequent errors. • spelling errors that frequently distract the reader; misspelling of common words often occurs. • paragraphs that often run together or begin in ineffective places. • capitalization that is inconsistent or often incorrect. • errors in grammar and usage that interfere with readability and meaning. • substantial need for editing.
1
Numerous errors in usage, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation repeatedly distract the reader and make the text difficult to read. In fact, the severity and frequency of errors are so overwhelming that the reader finds it difficult to focus on the message and must reread for meaning. The writing is characterized by • very limited skill in using conventions. • basic punctuation (including end-of-sentence punctuation) that tends to be omitted, haphazard, or incorrect. • frequent spelling errors that significantly impair readability. • paragraph breaks that may be highly irregular or so frequent (every sentence) that they bear no relation to the organization of the text. • capitalization that appears to be random. • a need for extensive editing.
