Completeness2 points• Addresses every explicit part of the question, including all sub‑questions.• Includes all or almost all key ideas listed in the answer key (e.g., key definitions, mechanisms, conditions, implications).• Provides sufficient elaboration for each key idea (not just naming; includes brief explanation or justification).• No major part of the question is left unaddressed or only vaguely addressed.1 point• Addresses the main focus of the question but omits at least one explicit or clearly implied part.• Includes some key ideas from the answer key but clearly misses one or more important ones.• Some elements are listed without explanation, or explanations are too brief for doctoral-level depth.• Overall response shows awareness of the question but is underdeveloped.0 points• Does not address the main focus of the question, or does so only minimally.• Includes few or none of the key ideas from the answer key.• Large portions of the question are ignored, misinterpreted, or answered irrelevantly.• Response may be extremely brief (e.g., one or two short sentences) or off‑topic.2. Accuracy & Quality of Reasoning2 points• Contains no major conceptual errors relative to course expectations and the answer key.• Any minor inaccuracies are peripheral and do not change the main meaning.• Uses key terms correctly and in appropriate context.• Reasoning is logically coherent; claims are supported with relevant explanations or examples.• When authors, theorists, or models are mentioned, they are appropriately matched to the correct ideas (given the no‑resources constraint).1 point• Overall response is more correct than incorrect but includes at least one notable inaccuracy or area of conceptual confusion.• May oversimplify complex ideas where doctoral‑level nuance is expected.• Some misuse of terminology or partial misunderstanding is present, but the core explanation is still acceptable.• Reasoning may have gaps or weak links, though the main line of argument remains understandable.0 points• Contains multiple major errors or contradictions relative to the answer key.• Demonstrates fundamental misunderstanding of core concepts or relationships.• Frequently misuses key terms in ways that change the intended meaning.• Reasoning is illogical, self‑contradictory, or largely unsupported, even if some correct terms appear.3. Professionalism (Writing & Tone)1 point• Uses complete sentences throughout; an occasional minor fragment is acceptable if meaning is clear.• Grammar, spelling, and punctuation are mostly correct; errors do not interfere with understanding.• Response is coherently organized, with ideas grouped logically and easy to follow.• Tone is academic and professional (no slang, texting abbreviations, or emojis).•(Not used)0 points• Frequent sentence fragments or run‑on sentences make the response hard to read.• Grammar and spelling errors are frequent enough to interfere with understanding.• Ideas are poorly organized; relationships between points are difficult to follow.• Tone is overly casual or inappropriate for doctoral‑level work (e.g., slang, emojis, texting language).• Response is written largely as notes or bullet points instead of complete sentences, despite instructions.
