Evaluation

Are there any criteria provided about how it will be graded?
What percentage of the course grade does this assignment represent?

If grading criteria for the assignment are provided, note what your instructor is emphasizing and concentrate your efforts accordingly. What are the characteristics that your instructor has highlighted:

• a clear argument?
• the appropriateness of the sources (e.g., books and journals)?
• drawing connections between your research and course concepts?

For the purposes of time management, it is also important to consider how much the assignment is worth compared to other assignments. See the Time Management module for more tips on setting priorities.
