Benchmark – Models of Abnormality
Unsatisfactory (0.00%)
Identification and explanation of the six models of
abnormality are missing.
Does not provide specific or current examples to
demonstrate the application and treatment of each model.
Paper lacks any discernible overall purpose or organizing
claim.
Statement of purpose is not justified by the conclusion. The
conclusion does not support the claim made. Argument is
incoherent and uses noncredible sources.
Surface errors are pervasive enough that they impede
communication of meaning. Inappropriate word choice
and/or sentence construction are used.
Template is not used appropriately, or documentation format
is rarely followed correctly.
No reference page is included. No citations are used.
40.0
Less than Satisfactory (65.00%)
Identification and explanation of the six models of
abnormality are incomplete or vague.
Provides vague examples to demonstrate the application and
treatment of each model; or missing either application or
treatment.
Thesis and/or main claim are insufficiently developed and/or
vague; purpose is not clear.
Sufficient justification of claims is lacking. Argument lacks
consistent unity. There are obvious flaws in the logic. Some
sources have questionable credibility.
Frequent and repetitive mechanical errors distract the
reader. Inconsistencies in language choice (register) and/or
word choice are present. Sentence structure is correct but
not varied.
Appropriate template is used, but some elements are missing
or mistaken. A lack of control with formatting is apparent.
Reference page is present. Citations are inconsistently used.
Satisfactory (75.00%)
Identification and explanation of the six models of
abnormality are complete and adequate.
Provides specific and current examples to demonstrate the
application and treatment of each model.
Thesis and/or main claim are apparent and appropriate to
purpose.
Argument is orderly, but may have a few inconsistencies. The
argument presents minimal justification of claims. Argument
logically, but not thoroughly, supports the purpose. Sources
used are credible. Introduction and conclusion bracket the
thesis.
Some mechanical errors or typos are present, but are not
overly distracting to the reader. Correct and varied sentence
structure and audience-appropriate language are employed.
Appropriate template is used. Formatting is correct, although
some minor errors may be present.
Reference page is included and lists sources used in the
paper. Sources are appropriately documented, although
some errors may be present
Good (85.00%)
Identification and explanation provides relevant examples of
the six models of abnormality.
Provides thorough examples that demonstrate the
application and treatment of each model.
Thesis and/or main claim are clear and forecast the
development of the paper. It is descriptive and reflective of
the arguments and appropriate to the purpose.
Argument shows logical progression. Techniques of
argumentation are evident. There is a smooth progression of
claims from introduction to conclusion. Most sources are
authoritative.
Prose is largely free of mechanical errors, although a few may
be present. The writer uses a variety of effective sentence
structures and figures of speech.
Appropriate template is fully used. There are virtually no
errors in formatting style.
Reference page is present and fully inclusive of all cited
sources. Documentation is appropriate and citation style is
usually correct.
Excellent (100.00%)
Identification and explanation of the six models of
abnormality are insightful and thoughtfully researched.
Provides thorough and well-researched examples that
demonstrate the application and treatment of each model.
