III. Criterios de Contenido: el estudiante debe tener en cuenta los siguientes elementos para la presentacin
argumentada de su trabajo:
Coherencia: Segn Snchez (2011), es la conexin lgica que se produce entre el texto el contexto, el gnero al
cual pertenece el texto y el propsito del autor y la define como la correlacin entre el propsito del autor del
texto, su contenido (estructura y progresin de la informacin), el sentido y la situacin comunicativa.
Cohesin: Segn Cassany (1999), se define como el conjunto de relaciones o vnculos significativos que se
establecen entre diferentes elementos o parte del texto (palabras, oraciones y apartados) que le permiten al lector
interpretarlo con eficacia.
Redaccin: Caracterstica del texto que se traduce en un adecuado manejo del cdigo lingstico de
conformidad con el tipo de texto y su gnero.
Ortografa: Est dada por el conocimiento y aplicacin de las reglas tanto de ortografa como de puntuacin.
Originalidad: Se presentan algunas definiciones de originalidad recopiladas por Phillips y Pugh (2005) citadas
por Blaxter (2008): 1) Poner por escrito una cantidad importante de nueva informacin por primera vez. 2)
Llevar a cabo un trabajo emprico que no se ha hecho antes. 3) Hacer una sntesis que no se ha hecho antes. 4)

Usar material ya conocido pero con una nueva interpretacin. 5) Adoptar una tcnica particular y aplicarla a una
nueva rea. 6) Obtener nuevos resultados sobre un tema viejo. 7).
Plagio: Qu es el plagio para la UNAD? El plagio est definido por el diccionario de la Real
Academia como la accin de "copiar en lo sustancial obras ajenas, dndolas como propias". Por tanto el plagio
es una falta grave: es el equivalente en el mbito acadmico, al robo. Un estudiante que plagia no se toma su
educacin en serio, y no respeta el trabajo intelectual ajeno.
No existe plagio pequeo. Si un estudiante hace uso de cualquier porcin del trabajo de otra persona, y
no documenta su fuente, est cometiendo un acto de plagio.
IV Criterios de forma: Hace alusin a los criterios de formales para la presentacin del documento escrito y los
cuales se recomiendan incorporar en la rbrica de evaluacin. Son los siguientes: (Tomados de la norma APA,
versin 3 en Espaol como traduccin de la versin 6 en Ingls)
