Grading Rubric

0 1 2 3 4
Category Not Submitted No Pass Competence Proficiency Mastery
Evidence of Persuasion, Critical Thinking, and Thesis statement Not Submitted No or limited evidence of logical reason for writing provided. Paper lacks clear indication of the subject considered in thesis, missing clear persuasion elements. Some evidence of persuasion used. Thesis statement does not clearly illustrate point of the paper, relates to most of the body paragraphs, but not all. Logic reasoning has gaps. Some evidence of research. Thesis statement is used but recedes in importance as paper moves along. Persuasion of paper topic is evident, but not strongly defended. Student clearly employs research to develop the topic. Introduction clearly gives the purpose of the paper and thesis indicates a “reason for writing” and is used to command the development of the rest of the essay.
Essay: Research and use of Resources Not Submitted Either no or limited body paragraphs provided, paragraphs are under-developed, or do not clearly support or relate to the thesis or topic sentences, or research is not from credible Rasmussen databases or is dated.. In-text citations are lacking details or are inaccurate or missing. Composition of body paragraphs appear designed to support thesis as stated; however, irrelevant (major details) appear to simply use research sources. Use of in-text citations is sometimes overlooked. Research is not all current or show use of varied Rasmussen resources. Body Paragraphs tie to essay topic, support thesis as stated, but do not always include enough detail and examples to be complete persuasive paragraphs. Although citations are used, some are incorrectly used to show support for topic. Body paragraphs clearly support main idea of the essay and illustrate good use of research to achieve the purpose of the assignment. Student sticks to the thesis support.
Essay Construction Not Submitted No or limited concluding paragraph to wrap up the essay is offered, or essay persuasion is incomplete or under developed, lacks complete or accurate citations and/or reference list is missing citations or includes errors. Weak essay organization exists: thesis is appropriate for persuasive paper. Conclusion paragraph may exist, but is not successful in supporting thesis for a persuasive essay. Paper fails to persuade, but shows competent construction of a basic essay. Most persuasive elements work well; however, some body paragraphs may show minor lack of support, & weak conclusion to wrap up the paper is evident. Paper follows standard essay paragraphs that successfully show review of the thesis, and main ideas of the body support the paper. Conclusion effectively signals completion of the persuasive essay. All persuasive elements work together with the use of research.
Writing: Paragraph and Sentence Structure and Usage Not Submitted Incomplete sentences or sentence errors are evident throughout the paragraphs, misplaced sentences, and/or incoherent sentences. Essay wanders off the support or off topic for major points. Most sentences are complete and coherent; however, some omissions occur and/or incorrect statements of facts and ideas exist in the use of research. Some slang or unprofessional tone may be present. Transitional sentences needed to move essay along. Some evidence of varied sentence structures used correctly, but some paragraph body sentences fail to show variety and/or support organization of the persuasive essay research. Varied sentence structure and simple/complex sentences show sophisticated style. Demonstrates effective use of transitions. Sentences work to show development of the essay.

This document is intended to help guide you to successful completion of the Research Paper for this course. You will complete a 15–20 page (not including title page, abstract page, and references) Research Paper on 1 addictive substance or addictive behavior related to biological aspects of addiction. Higher grades will be awarded to papers that demonstrate personal mastery of course content and congruence with the assignment description in this guide. A minimum of 15 sources published within the last 5 years must be included. Conformity to current APA style is required for this manuscript.

Once you have developed a proper introduction for your paper, there will be 3 primary sections/key points for you to address. Each section/point has subpoints that must also be addressed.

  1. Description of Substance/Behavior: In this section, describe the biological aspects of      the addictive substance or behavior. Your discussion must explain the      addictive properties and include the primary effects on the brain and other      organ systems in the body.
  2. Clinical Issues: Discuss      clinical considerations of the addictive substance or behavior.

Include areas of freedom and caution for Christian counselors      based on the biological aspects of the addictive substance/behavior.

Review the health promotion models discussed in the lecture and reading. See what other models are available online

/in /by

Health promotion models include various physical, psychological, social, environmental and economic factors. Review the health promotion models discussed in the lecture and reading. See what other models are available online.

Over the next few weeks you will be working on a summative community health promotion evaluation. For this project you will assess the needs of a particular community and design a community program for health promotion. You will also develop implementation strategies and intervention methods to address these community needs. Finally you will evaluate the program planning process and revise your project as needed.

This week you will design your project with your chosen theory or model in mind. Although your project presentation will not be due until week 7 you will be building up to that final presentation over the next weeks.

I would like for you to focus on the needs of your community. Write a summary of health needs to identify a population or group in need of health promotion and education. What is the need? Where is there a need? What epidemiologic data have you found on this population? What is the socioeconomically culture of your particular population that you have selected?

Write a 1-2 page summary of your community and population following APA guidelines.

Be creative! You can design a flow chart with 1-2 paragraphs explaining your model.

You have some expertise in gender identity development although you may not be aware of it. This assignment presents you with the opportunity to explore your own gender identity development.

Using the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research psychological literature on gender identity. In addition to the module readings, select at least two scholarly resources for use in this assignment. You also have the option of using nonscholarly resources from reputable Web and print sources.

  • Early Learning about Gender
    • Identify memories of masculinity and femininity in your family, peers, authority figures, and role models from childhood through adolescence.
    • Describe the biological, social, historical, cultural, ethnic, or political influences on your early learning of gender roles and explain how they form a part of your own gender role identity.
    • Include examples specific to your experiences.
  • Influence of Gender on Roles and Decisions
    • Evaluate the scientific evidence for the influence of gender expectations on social roles, cognitive abilities, and educational and career choices.
    • Compare or contrast this scientific evidence to your own experiences. That is, explain how your experience matches or does not match the scientific community’s opinion about how gender expectations influence social roles, cognitive abilities, and educational and career choices.
  • Transitions, Conflicts, and Challenges
    • Identify any transition points or conflicts in your gender role development until now. Were there times when you did not feel your expected gender role fit for you?
    • Describe your experiences with sexism or lack of experiences with sexism. How does this relate to what the scientific community says about transitions, conflicts, and challenges?
  • Looking Forward
    • Discuss how you anticipate your gender identity will continue to evolve over the course of your life. Do you have present concerns about your gender identity?
    • Identify areas in which you could benefit from expanding the definition of your gender role. What difficulties do you anticipate in this? Explain.

Be sure to include the following in your paper:

  • A title page
  • A reference page
  • Headings for each of the sections applying APA standards
  • A minimum of two scholarly sources, which are not included in the module readings
