researched and/or urgency of call to action may be lacking.

Introduction

Presents a specific and concise research question; persuasively explains how research findings shaped

proposed intervention;

convincingly utilizes an

intersectional framework to analyze why/how question is significant and for whom.

Presents a specific research question; states how research

findings shaped proposed intervention; suggests an intersectional framework when analyzing why/how

question is significant and for whom.

Offers a research question; suggests how research findings shaped proposed

intervention; mentions an

intersectional framework and significance of question but may be unclear, vague, overly general, and/or unconvincing.

Difficult to identify a research question or how research findings shaped proposed

intervention; no identifiable attempt to engage with an intersectional framework.

Description of Problem

Thorough use of evidence from credible sources to comprehensively describe

problem researched and how it is/has been addressed on campus; description is

grounded in an intersectional framework and is effective for intended audience: future

students.

Appropriate use of evidence from sources to describe

problem and how it is/has been addressed on campus; description suggests an

intersectional framework and is appropriate for intended

audience.

Refers to evidence from sources to describe problem but may be unclear, vague, and/or overly general as to: how problem is/has been

addressed on campus; how intersectional framework is being applied; and/or who

writer’s intended audience is.

Difficult to identify

description of problem; vague or overly generally discussion of how problem

is/has already been addressed on campus;

difficult to identify

intersectional framework and/or audience being

addressed.

Argument for

Proposed Action

Convincing, clear, concise

statement of proposed

intervention and how it will impact problem researched; comprehensively describes how research supports

proposed intervention; centralizes an intersectional framework and bottom-up actions future students can take to enact writer’s vision.

Clear statement of proposed action and how it addresses problem researched;

describes how research supports proposed

intervention; considers intersectionality and

bottom-up actions future students can take.

Suggests how proposed intervention addresses

problem researched and how research supports proposed intervention, but argument

might be vague, overly general, or demonstrate a weak understanding of

intersectionality and

bottom-up actions future students can take.

Difficult to identify proposed intervention and how it

addresses problem researched and/or how research supports proposed intervention; no identifiable engagement with

intersectionality and/or bottom up actions future students can take.

Research Sources

5-10 credible and varied sources correctly cited and referenced in APA format

throughout paper; at least 2 are peer-reviewed and any DOC sources are highly relevant.

5-10 appropriate sources correctly cited and referenced in APA format

throughout paper; at least 2 are peer-reviewed and any DOC sources are relevant.

5-10 sources inconsistently and/or unconvincingly cited

in paper; outside sources may be of questionable credibility;

DOC sources may be tangentially related.

Difficult to identify the required number of sources

and/or no identifiable outside sources or DOC sources used.
