4. What ethical standards are being challenged, and in what way are they being challenged?
5. Identify and briefly summarize the theory and model you will use for resolving the dilemma.

ETHICAL Dilemma Paper RubricCriteriaRatingsPtsIdeas

50 pts

Excels in responding to assignment

Interesting demonstrates the sophistication of thought. The central idea/thesis is clearly communicated, worth developing; limited enough to be manageable. Paper recognizes some complexity of its thesis: may acknowledge its contradictions, qualifications, or limits and follow out their logical implications. Understands and critically evaluates its sources, appropriately limits and defines terms.

40 pts

A solid paper, responding appropriately to assignment

Clearly states a thesis/central idea, but may have minor lapses in development. Begins to acknowledge the complexity of the central idea and the possibility of other points of view. Shows careful reading of sources, but may not evaluate them critically. Attempts to define terms, not always successful.

30 pts

Adequate but weaker and less effective

Possibly responding less well to the assignment. Presents central idea in general terms, often depending on platitudes or cliches. Usually does not acknowledge other views. Shows basic comprehension of sources, perhaps with lapses in understanding. If it defines terms, often depends on dictionary definitions.

20 pts

Does not have a clear central idea or does not respond appropriately to the assignment

The thesis may be too vague or obvious to be developed effectively. Paper may misunderstand sources.

0 pts

Does not respond to the assignment

Lacks a thesis or central idea, and may neglect to use sources where necessary.

Organization & Coherence

16 pts

Excels in responding to assignment

Uses a logical structure appropriate to the paper’s subject, purpose, audience, thesis, and disciplinary field. Sophisticated transitional sentences often develop one idea from the previous one or identify their logical relations. It guides the reader through the chain of reasoning or progression of ideas.

8 pts

A solid paper, responding appropriately to assignment

Shows a logical progression of ideas and uses fairly sophisticated transitional devices; e.g., may move from least to a more important idea. Some logical links may be faulty, but each paragraph clearly relates to the paper’s central idea.

4 pts

Adequate but weaker and less effective

May list ideas or arrange them randomly rather than using any evident logical structure. May use transitions, but they are likely to be sequential (first, second, third) rather than logic-based. While each paragraph may relate to the central idea, logic is not always clear. Paragraphs have topic sentences but may be overly general, and the arrangement of sentences within paragraphs may lack coherence.

2 pts

Does not have a clear central idea or does not respond appropriately to the assignment

May have random organization, lacking internal paragraph coherence, and using few or inappropriate transitions. Paragraphs may lack topic sentences or main ideas or may be too general or too specific to be effective. Paragraphs may not all relate to the paper’s thesis.

0 pts

Does not respond to the assignment

No appreciable organization; lacks transitions and coherence.

Support

12 pts

Excels in responding to assignment

Uses evidence appropriately and effectively, providing sufficient evidence and explanation to convince.

6 pts

A solid paper, responding appropriately to assignment

Begins to offer reasons to support its points, perhaps using varied kinds of evidence. Begins to interpret the evidence and explain connections between evidence and main ideas. Its examples bear some relevance.

3 pts

Adequate but weaker and less effective

Often uses generalizations to support its points. May use examples, but they may be obvious or not relevant. Often depends on unsupported opinion or personal experience, or assumes that evidence speaks for itself and needs no application to the point being discussed. Often has lapses in logic.

2 pts

Does not have a clear central idea or does not respond appropriately to the assignment

Depends on cliches or overgeneralizations for support, or offers little evidence of any kind. May be a personal narrative rather than an essay, or a summary rather than an analysis.

0 pts

Does not respond to the assignment

Uses irrelevant details or lacks supporting evidence entirely. May be unduly brief.

Style

12 pts

Excels in responding to assignment

Chooses words for their precise meaning and uses an appropriate level of specificity. Sentence style fits the paper’s audience and purpose. Sentences are varied, yet clearly structured and carefully focused, not long and rambling.

6 pts

A solid paper, responding appropriately to assignment

Generally uses words accurately and effectively, but may sometimes be too general. Sentences are generally clear, well structured, and focused, though some may be awkward or ineffective.

3 pts

Adequate but weaker and less effective

Uses relatively vague and general words, may use some inappropriate language. Sentence structure is generally correct, but sentences may be wordy, unfocused, repetitive, or confusing.

2 pts

Does not have a clear central idea or does not respond appropriately to the assignment

May be too vague and abstract, or very personal and specific. Usually contains several awkward or ungrammatical sentences; sentence structure is simple or monotonous.

0 pts

Does not respond to the assignment

Usually contains many awkward sentences, misuses words, employs inappropriate language.

5 pts

A solid paper, responding appropriately to assignment

May contain a few errors, which may annoy the reader but not impede understanding.

Adequate but weaker and less effective

Usually contains several mechanical errors, which may temporarily confuse the reader but not impede the overall understanding.

Does not have a clear central idea or does not respond appropriately to the assignment

Usually contains either many mechanical errors or a few important errors that block the reader’s understanding and ability to see connections between thoughts.

Does not respond to the assignment

Usually contains so many mechanical errors that it is impossible for the reader to follow the thinking from sentence to sentence.
