Problem Emergence

Discussion of How

Recent Studies Illustrate

the Existence of the

Problem and the Need

for Additional Research

0 points

A discussion of how

recent studies illustrate

the existence of the

problem and the need

for additional research is

either missing or not

evident.

21.9 points

A discussion of how

recent studies illustrate

the existence of the

problem and the need

for additional research is

illogical or inaccurate.

The existing literature

does not illustrate the

existence of the problem

or the need for

additional research.

Argument lacks

consistent unity. There

are obvious flaws in the

logic.

24.6 points

A discussion of how

recent studies illustrate

the existence of the

problem and the need

for additional research is

cursory. The existing

literature distantly

illustrates the existence

of the problem or the

need for additional

research. Argument

logically, but not

thoroughly, supports the

purpose. Sources used

are credible.

Introduction and

conclusion bracket the

thesis.

27.3 points

A discussion of how

recent studies illustrate

the existence of the

problem and the need

for additional research is

thorough. The existing

literature loosely

illustrates the existence

of the problem or the

need for additional

research. Argument

shows logical

progressions.

Techniques of

argumentation are

evident. There is a

smooth progression of

claims from introduction

to conclusion.

30 points

A discussion of how

recent studies illustrate

the existence of the

problem and the need

for additional research is

thorough. The existing

literature clearly

illustrates the existence

of the problem or the

need for additional

research. The proposed

problem space directly

emerges from a

synthesis of the

limitations or future

study ideas from the

cited literature. Scholarly

research is used for

support and is current

or seminal. Argument is

clear and convincing,

presenting a persuasive

claim in a distinctive and

compelling manner.

Articulation of the
Problem

Articulation of the

Problem and Its Size and

Scope

0 points

An articulation of the

problem and its size and

scope is missing or not

evident to the reader.

29.2 points

An articulation of the

problem and its size and

scope is present but

illogical or inaccurate.

32.8 points

An articulation of the

problem and its size and

scope is present but

remains vague. A clear

understanding of the

problem has not yet

been formed.

36.4 points

An articulation of the

problem and its size and

scope is present. An

understanding of the

problem is relatively

evident.

40 points

An articulation of the

problem and its size and

scope is present. A clear

understanding of the

problem is evident.

Significance of the
Study

Argument for the

Significance and

Relevance of the

Potential Study

0 points

An argument for the

significance and

relevance of the

potential study is

missing or not evident to

the reader.

29.2 points

An argument for the

significance and

relevance of the

potential study is

present but inaccurate

or unintelligible. There is

no mention of

contributions of the

study to existing

literature or to the

informing of practice.

32.8 points

An argument for the

significance and

relevance of the

potential study is

present but remains

cursory. There is only a

veiled mention of

contributions of the

study to existing

literature or to the

informing of practice.

Argument logically, but

not thoroughly, supports

the purpose. Sources

used are credible.

Introduction and

0 points

An identification and

proposed variables or

phenomena is either

missing or not evident to

the reader.

21.9 points

An identification and

proposed variables or

phenomena is illogical or

inaccurate. The

proposed variables or

phenomena are not

supported via the

identified problem

space. Argument lacks

consistent unity. There

are obvious flaws in the

logic.

24.6 points

An identification and

definition of the

proposed variables or

phenomena is cursory.

There is loose support

for the proposed

variables or phenomena

via the identified

problem space. The

research used for

support is outdated.

Argument logically, but

not thoroughly, supports

the purpose. Sources

used are credible.
