| Meets Expectations |
The conclusion of the argument is reasonably clear although there may be some ambiguity about the precise nature of the conclusion Most of the argument supports the conclusion but there is some extraneous material Argument is supported with some evidence appropriate to the conclusion Argument acknowledges some complexities connected with an issue Argument acknowledges some potential counterarguments then offers at least some indication of potential responses |
| Fails to Meet Expectations |
The conclusion of the argument shifts and changes as the argument progresses A significant portion of the argument offers no real support for the conclusion The argument relies heavily on emotional appeals as opposed to evidence and reasoning Argument oversimplifies a complex issue presenting everything in black and white terms Argument ignores obvious counterarguments |
