Research Paper Final Draft Rubric

1. No first person!
Anyone who uses first person (I, me, myself, etc.) anywhere in their (unless it is a quote from a source) will automatically start at a "C" and may go lower.  I have explained from day one that research papers can not contain first person.

2. You must meet the 6 page requirement.
Remember that is using 12 point font, double spaced.

3. The works cited page will be the very last page and you must have a minimum of 5 sources.

4.  Sources in your paper need to be quoted correctly.  Make sure if you are copying someone else's words you put quotes around it.

5.  If your percentage of copying from sources is higher than 25% you will start automatically at a "C."

6.  Make sure you read through your paper for grammar and typo mistakes.  If your paper has too many errors you will have points deducted.

7.  If worse comes to worse, turn in what you have so that at least I can give you credit for something instead of getting a zero.

Being absent is no excuse for not submitting your paper to Turnitin.com!
