Initial Read and Terminology

Silently Read: 30 Minutes Read through the ENTIRE paper. You should only be commenting in the box labeled Terminology. Identify all terms that appear to be too discipline specific. (If you don’t know the term, write it down). When finished, provide general feedback in the area provided. Do NOT move forward into rows of the rubric. You need instruction on how to identify the information in each row.

ROW 1: Understand and Analyze Context Terms to Know: Focus: the specific topic of research This information should be outside the format of a question. Purpose: the reason that the researcher set out to study this specific topic This should be backed with prior research in the field. Significance: the way this piece of evidence will change/add to the BOK for the topic. ALL of these must be explicitly stated and not a hint for the audience.

ROW 2: Understand and Analyze Argument Terms to Know: Single Perspective: All sources used agree with one another and stay on the same topic Isolated Perspectives: Not all sources agree with one another, but they are not directly connected by the researcher Juxtaposed: Perspectives are not only shown, but the researcher directly explains the relationship of differing perspectives Conversational: Researcher can move from source to source with smooth transitions ALL of these must be explicitly stated and not a hint for the audience.

ROW 3: Evaluate Sources and Evidence Terms to Know: Irrelevant: Sources that are not clearly related to the topic or do not match type of research topic. Credible: Sources used to educate the audience are clearly appropriate and trustworthy for the current research Directly Explained: Researcher directly walks the reader through the relationship of previous research to the intent of the current research. ALL of these must be explicitly stated and not a hint for the audience.

Design, Analysis, and Conclusions Rows 4-6 Do NOT move forward into additional rows of the rubric. You need instruction on how to identify the information in each row. You often do not know what you do not know.

ROW 4: Research Design Terms to Know: Summary: Explanation of research plan that lacks details to replicate the method Detailed: Step-by-step process, outline of participant/subject demos, instruments presented and discussed Logical Connection: Researcher defends the use of their method in comparison to other methods AND explains why this method works directly with the research question ALL of these must be explicitly stated and not a hint for the audience.

ROW 5: Establish Argument Terms to Know: Illogical Links: Clearly jumps from evidence to conclusions without a detailed explanation to help you understand Clearly Explained: Walks you through the data that is present to help you understand the findings New Understanding: Directly states how this conclusion will change the field of research Limitations: Clearly explains some major flaws or potential human errors in research. TIME is not a limitation for a study. Implications/Future Directions: Multiple explanations of how the research community could move forward with info ALL of these must be explicitly stated and not a hint for the audience.

ROW 6: Select and Use Evidence Terms to Know: Type: Qualitative/Quantitative information used in a logical way Quantity: Triangulation or other attempt at analysis can be made due to the depth of the data sets Synthesis: Data is blended in a way that creates juxtaposition or conversation with other data sets and previous research ALL of these must be explicitly stated and not a hint for the audience.

Conventions Rows 7-9 Do NOT move forward into additional rows of the rubric. You need instruction on how to identify the information in each row. You often do not know what you do not know.

ROW 7: Engage Audience Terms to Know: Organization: Guide: Engaging: Headings to Content Connection Graphs/Tables to Captions Content to Graph Connections Guide: Reader is able to work through the paper with minimal confusion due to the layout of the document Engaging: Structure is so well crafted that you want to keep reading! ALL of these must be explicitly stated and not a hint for the audience.

ROW 8: Apply Conventions Terms to Know: Sloppy Scholarship: Students use images and information without carefully citing Consistent All obvious content is cited Voice Student clearly maintains their own writing voice amongst the other voices present in the paper.
