Each score category contains a range of student response
which reflect the descriptions given below.
Score 3
The response is an excellent answer to the question. It is
correct, complete, and contains elaboration, extension, and/or
evidence of higher-order thinking and relevant prior knowledge.
There is no evidence of misconceptions. Minor errors will
not necessarily lower the score.
Score 2
The response is a proficient answer to the question. It is
generally correct, complete, and appropriate although minor
inaccuracies may appear. There may be limited evidence of
elaboration, extension, higher-order thinking, and relevant
prior knowledge, or there may be significant evidence of these
traits but other flaws (e.g., inaccuracies, omissions, inappropriateness)
may be more than minor.
Score 1
The response is a marginal answer to the question. While it
may contain some elements of a proficient response, it is
inaccurate, incomplete and/or inappropriate. There is little
if any evidence of elaboration, extension, higher-order thinking
or relevant prior knowledge. There may be evidence of significant
misconceptions.
Score 0
The response, although on topic, is an unsatisfactory answer
to the question. It may fail to address the question, or it
may address the question in a very limited way. There may
be no evidence of elaboration, extension, higher-order thinking,
or relevant prior knowledge. There may be evidence of serious
misconceptions. |
