A few comments:
If I am struggling to figure out which point you are addressing, then you won’t receive the points for that paragraph.It must be clear and address the questions and ideas presented in the instructions. Remember, the word count is a minimum . . . you can go over to get your ideas across. This paper is clearly outlined and the instructions are detailed in what is expected.
Here is how I am grading:
APA format: 3 points (An abstract is to tell me what you are going to address in your paper . . . it is NOT a summary of the material you will be talking about.)
Word count minimum reached: 3 points
Summary: 2 points
Each major point covered: 3 points each if three are chosen, 4.5 points each if only two are chosen
Conclusion: 3 points
