Essay Grading Criteria
Your paper must use the conventions of standard written English (appropriate diction, no
omitted words, grammar, punctuation, and spelling). The omission of running spell check and
proofreading your essay (using Grammarly) will adversely affect your grade in a very significant
way. Not including a reference page will result in a grade no higher than a 50. The same
is true of not including in-text citations.
