Your Case paper will be further evaluated based on the following criteria:
Precision (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor)
• Each question and or assignment requirement is addressed in the paper
• Accuracy of your answers, key points and supporting discussion
Clarity (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor)
• The paper is well organized, concise, reads clearly, and it is not confusing.
Breadth (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor)
• The paper presents appropriate breadth covering the assignment questions/requirements
Depth (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor)
• Presents key points that lead to deeper matters and issues
• Integrates several points into coherent conclusions
Critical Thinking (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor)
• The paper demonstrates good understanding and synthesis of the module background material
• Logically incorporates key concepts presented in the background material into the overall analyses, key points and supporting discussions
• Present well-reasoned conclusions and positions as well as convincing arguments in support of the same
Writing Mechanics

• Spelling (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor)
• Vocabulary (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor)
• Referencing (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor)
Additional considerations to keep in mind while working on your case assignments:
Originality and Use of directly quoted material
• The purpose of each assignment is for you to present your understanding and synthesis of the background material and key concepts. Accordingly, this must be accomplished substantially in your own words.
• Use directly quoted material sparingly and only when preserving the exact words of an author is necessary. For purposes of this course, rarely should directly quoted material represent more than 5-10 percent of your entire case paper's content. Composing a paper patched together from mostly quoted material is not acceptable.
• Be sure to properly reference all directly quoted material and include the in-text citations.
