Exceeds Standard: 86-100%* Provides complete, accurate and relevant information based firmly on extensive and careful evaluation of the research. The required number of relevant scholarly sources are included, demonstrating extensive, in-depth research. Background provides an excellent foundation to understand salient concepts in the literature. Theories and studies are explained thoroughly and concisely present information necessary for understanding the topic. Demonstrates in-depth understanding and insight into the topic through careful analysis and reflection. Identified gaps demonstrate provocative and logical critical thinking about the topic. Ideas for future research flow easily from the critique of current research and provide an engaging avenue of study. Sources referenced in paper at all necessary points All citations--in-text and references--follow APA format. Notes in Zotero are accurate, and clearly related to the paper.

Meets Standard: 80-85% Provides mostly complete, accurate, and relevant information based on research. The required number of relevant scholarly sources are included, revealing adequate research. Background provides a strong foundation to understand salient concepts in the literature. Theories and studies are explained adequately and usually present information necessary for understanding the topic. Demonstrates a general understanding of the topic with some analysis and reflection. Identified gaps demonstrate logical critical thinking. Ideas for future research generally flow from the critique of current research and provide an interesting avenue of study.

Approaches Standard: 70-79% Provides basic, some of which may be incorrect and/or irrelevant information based on minimal research. Too few relevant scholarly sources are included, revealing marginal research. Background provides a good foundation to understand salient concepts in the literature. Theories and studies are usually explained clearly and sometimes present information necessary for understanding the topic. Demonstrates some understanding of the topic, but with limited analysis and reflection. Identified gaps demonstrate basic understanding, but reflect minimal critical thought. Ideas for future research only somewhat flow from the critique of current evidence.

This is an ambitious and impressive piece of work. The thinking is very strong. The writing is good. You get into trouble at times. As a reader, I appreciate the effort to give some variety with interesting sentences and the like. Its just the next step for you: doing that but keeping it clear. So you may want to back off a little and go for simple, direct, and clear. But overall, this was one of the very best works we read. Fine job. Herere the details.
