A-/A/A+

Very good to outstanding demonstrations, in term papers, quizzes, and presentations, of ability to analyze issues covered in the courses using those concepts and paradigms; outstanding ability to give insightful sociological accounts of issues discussed; excellent use of sources of information; and effective use of format and structure in presentation of results and analysis.  A- is not necessarily outstanding in all types of outputs, but shows sufficiently outstanding work in most if not all types of work in the course to reach the ‘A’ level. 

B-/B/B+

Good to very good demonstrations, in term papers, quizzes, and presentations, of ability to analyze issues covered in the courses using those concepts and paradigms; good to very good ability to give insightful sociological accounts of issues discussed; good use of sources of information; and effective use of format and structure in presentation of results and analysis.

Marginally adequate or flawed demonstration, in term papers, quizzes, and presentations, of ability to analyze issues covered in the courses using those concepts and paradigms; marginally adequate or substantially flawed ability to give sociological accounts of issues discussed; mostly adequate use of sources of information; and basic ability to use format and structure in presentation of results and analysis.  But overall, flaws and shortcomings are notable, and considerable improvement is desirable.

D

Below an adequate level of demonstration of mastery of concepts, paradigms, analysis, and presentation of results, although basic ability in some of the course actitivies and some of the concepts and paradigms is evident.  Many or major shortcomings are notable, and major improvements in performance are necessary for successful graduation.
