Grading Rubric
If you submit the required number of pages, you are eligible for full credit.
If you submit less than the full number of pages, (i.e., five pages were submitted and 10 pages were required) then you will receive a deduction. In this example, the deduction would be 50%.
A full page is a full page—so, one sentence on a page does not constitute a full page.
Quality work will have a significant scope and depth of research to support any statements. Relevant illustrations or examples are encouraged. Quality work will employ a sound use of reasoning and logic to reinforce conclusions.
Each identified question is addressed using the language of the course and text. The answers show a deep knowledge of the subject matter and have detailed and supporting examples (90–100%).
Each identified question is addressed using the language of the course and text. The answers show an intermediate knowledge of the subject matter and have examples that, although useful, are vague (80–89%).
Each identified question is addressed but fails to use the language of the course and text. The answers show an intermediate knowledge of the subject matter and have examples that, although useful, are vague (70–79%).
Each identified question is addressed but fails to use the language of the course and text. The answers show an elementary knowledge of the subject matter. Examples, if provided, are not well correlated to the identified question (60–69%).
The identified questions are not addressed or are addressed in such a vague manner that it is difficult to understand how the answers support a comprehensive supply chain process (0–59%).

A quality paper will meet or exceed all of the above requirements.
