Criterion C - The following criterion evaluates the structure and
Structure & assesses the logical sequence of form, flow, fine points,
Organization of and finality multi-paragraphed compositions.
Composition
1 The structure of the composition is disorganized and
lacks clear focus. The sentence structure flows
disjointedly; overall structure of the paper is
incoherent. The composition may have no finality.
2 The structure of the composition is somewhat
organized, and a general topic is detected. The
sentence structure flows disjointedly at times; overall
structure of the paper is coherent. The composition
may have an incomplete finality.
3 The structure of the composition is mostly organized,
and a central topic can be identified. The sentence
structure flows, but sometimes the flow disrupts the
reading process. Overall, the structure of the
composition is mostly coherent with a general finality.
4 The structure of the composition is organized, and a
central topic is present. The sentence structure flows
smoothly, with few errors. Overall, the structure of the
composition is coherent with a finality.
5 The structure of the composition is well organized and
focused on a central topic. The sentence structure
flows; errors are present but no meaning is lost.
Overall, the structure of the composition very coherent
with a good and concise finality.
6 The structure of the composition is expertly organized
and focused clearly on a central topic. The sentence
structure flows smoothly and effective; errors may be
present but does not disrupt the reading process.
