(Intermediate Composition) - English Portfolio.: Research Effectiveness Rubric

This document outlines a rubric for evaluating student research effectiveness. The rubric assesses student work on four criteria: selecting academically appropriate sources relevant to the research question, critically evaluating source information and context, effectively using source information to accomplish the purpose of the paper, and using source information ethically and legally through proper citation. The rubric scores student work from 1-5 on each criteria, with higher scores indicating more proficient performance. The document then states that the institution aims to have 60% of students score 16 or higher on this rubric for a midterm assignment, and 80% score 16 or higher for a research paper in their senior portfolio.
