I can understand why this a B plus portfolio and not an A portfolio. The author did a very good job in their autobiography, and in the process of writing, with many drafts and outlines for their research paper. However, their research paper has a lot of mistakes in conventions and fallacies, such as claiming that Russia was a communist state. THese fallacies weakened their argument which is what I believe brought this portfolio from an A to a B plus. However, they did very well in the critical thinking category
Overall this is a great portfolio. I think that they author had a good sense of sentence structure and what flowed well througout the paper because I found it easy to follow and well organized.
There were some small gramatical errors throught the paper that could be a sign that they either did not edit the writing or that they do not understand the gramatical concepts which could be reasons why they did not earn an A-.
I think that they showed great understanding of the assignment and attempted to write to the best of their ability, and obviously there is still room for improvment, and they are not at the same level of understanding as a person writing an A paper but they are showing improvment and awareness of their personal writing process.
This portfolio was given a B+ because although it met most of the criteria, it could’ve exceeded these criteria better. For example, there was a few errors in the knowledge of conventions, such as grammatical errors. There was also a few points in her writing that were hard to understand, her critical thinking could’ve improved to make her positions in her papers more clear, specifically the research one. She did have many drafts that were well edited. You can clearly tell that she improved over the semester. Her processes of writing were demonstrated by this. The rhetorical analysis also met standard making this paper a definite B+.
This paper I think derserves the B+ grade that it got. It is a very good portfolio and the sentence flow and structure is very good. I rarely found sentences that didnt make sense or were not complete. The problem is that the few sentences that were not complete or that didn't make much sense along with grammer errors is what stop this paper from being a A-.
The cover letter had a clear thesis statement and showed a good demonstration of the awareness of the knowledge of conventions. The writer was good at expanding her thoughts and provides examples for support. There were few grammatical errors in this essay, but a lack of knowledge about how to use in-text citations in the MLA format.
The research paper had few incorrect in-text citations relating to the MLA format. The writer needed to explain and expand more on the quotations that he/she used in the paper and give the credentials of the quotes that she used throughout this essay. There were some errors regarding the knowledge of conventions, but I believe the writer learned from these errors and showed the knowledge he/she gained in the cover letter that was written.
I agree with the grade this portfolio received. The author seems to be a strong writer and uses effective vocabulary but made grammatical errors even after revising drafts. The writer makes improvements between drafts which I think is key but also misses mistakes, weakening the overall work.
I would have given the person the same grade because the writer did everything well. Their thesis was clear and so were the main points that they made throughout the paper. Improvements were made between each draft which is why I believe the final draft is much better than the first but I will also say that there is still a bit to be done in polishing this essay until it would receive a better grade.
This paper was well organized, had clear and concise thoughts, and had a flow that made it easy to read and understand. The writer had a strong thesis and built on that thesis through out the paper. There were some grammatical errors that could have easily been avoided and that may have put the paper at an A.
This portfolio was good, but definitely could have been better. The cover letter seemed a bit repetitive and seemed too informal. In the research paper, the author's conventions were lacking a bit, mainly due to grammatical errors. Some sentences seemed a little too long or wordy. The drafts were single spaced and harder to read. It was good that the paper was reworked so much though. I think a B+ was an appropriate grade.
This is a B+ paper and not an A for several reasons, there are a few grammatical errors and fallacies that set the paper back and could confuse some readers. there is also some repetition in the points being made that weaken the article and bore the reader The paper also has some goods things that make it an above average paper, it has a good thesis statement that hooks the reader followed by good points that are detailed further later in the paper. She had drafts that were obviously edited and improved on at each step,
To begin, there is no title on this paper, which probably docked a few points from the very beginning. Also, just from glancing over the paper before reading, there are a lot of grammatical mistakes. Sometimes the format and wording are confusing. Besides that, it was a good paper and well researched. Which is probably what kept it out of the C area. It was a good idea, I think that one more revising session would make it an A quality paper.
This portfolio is well put together and deserves a B+ grade for the work shown. The thoughts expressed were clear and flowed well together. There were big improvements made between drafts which saved the portfolio from getting a lower grade. The papers showed clear thesis statements that were later explained in the essays which showed there was a clear understanding of the topic.
The B+ is the correct grade to give this portfolio. There were a few confusing sentences and some grammar errors even after the revisions, those are a big downer to the grade. Thesis is clearly expressed and overall structure was correct.
I can see why this portfolio was awarded a B+. The writer is very good and followed the rubric almost entirely. Mistakes I noticed which would have lowered the grade include grammatical errors, structure flaws, and mis information. Many of the rough drafts were truly 'rough'. However the author was able to make very good improvements which surly raised the grade. For the most part, the authored displayed a good understanding for the topics and followed the directions and rubric well.
This portfolio really deserved this B+. They followed the outline and rubric given and demonstrates what they were told to do very well. The writer used flowing transitions and showed improvement through the drafts and etc. They seemed to enjoy the work and had a strong sense of writing style.
This portfolio is decently strong, but there are some obvious errors that docked it points. The overall flow of the paper is easy to follow, and the reader can make the connections that the author is trying to point out. The grading rubric was well follow, yet not perfectly and resulted in the B+ grade.
This portfolio received a B plus, instead of an A, because it had minimal errors, but overall good portfolio. On the research paper it showed a good understanding of the topic, and we were able to see what type of argument the student wanted to present and emphasize. There were a few grammatical and conventional errors that I think cost this portfolio from getting the A. Clearly this person researched their topic and was able to analyze the sources and somehow include them in their writing. This student was able to integrate their own ideas and those of others. This portfolio used the information presented effectively. Organization of the paragraphs made the paper flow better.
It's hard to say something new about this paper when so many people have commented already. i agree it was done well, with the mistakes in grammar and punctuation. it is not done as well as the A paper obviously why it got its B+.
The organization and focus was nice and easy to follow the flow of the paper as well. however the B+ shows room for improvement as we all have but still put together a good portfolio.
This paper is very deserving of the grade it received. Despite sparse grammatical and spelling errors, the paper is written very well. The flow of the paper is very linear and you can see the writer's thought process clearly laid out in text. I might add that the topic this person chose is very interesting and one I plan on learning more about.
I feel that this paper was a B+ but could have easily been an A-. He had a good sentence structure and his thoughts where clearly to understand. He got straight to the point, yea he had some grammar issues but it was clear what he was trying to say. It was easy to connect with what the author because he had good supporting ideas.
This paper had really clear writing and only a few grammatical errors so I feel it justly deserves its grade of a B+. His ideas flowed very well and came across to the reader clear and concise.
This portfolio was well done primarily on their research essay. It deserved the B plus because of the quality of work. The essay was interesting to read and flowed very well. The essay topic was clear, it presented an issue and then the body of the paper clearly followed it. There were some gramatical erors in the final draft however which were more serious than a few spelling errors. Some parts were written in a way that made you interpret the message in a different way than the author had intended. It looks like many of the errors found in the previous draft were corrected which supported the process section of the rubric. However it seems as if the corrections were done at a minimum and not many more corrections were made besides what the peer editors had made.
Over all this portfolio was solid, but it is apparent why it received the grade of B+ rather than an A. It was well written, and they made good use of the writing process. It was apparent that after the first couple drafts most errors were fixed, however there were still minor errors, and some parts that were confusing to me. In the end it was still a solid paper, definitely B+ worthy.
I understand why this is a B+ essay. I thouhgt htat the autobiography was written very well and was engaging and had sustance and was overall a very good paper. The research paper though was not as strong. It was not researched as well as it should have been and it was also not written as well as it could have been. Saying that it was still a good paper but it drags down the score making the overall a B+ paper
It is understandable that this person recieved a B+. They had a good understanding of what was being asked but could have put a couple more peices of information in to make a better written and more understood paper. There were still gramatical errors present in the final peice of work and this could have been avoided if the writer put more effort in making their paper meet the criteria. Although some parts of the paper were somewhat hard to understand, overall it was well written and deserved the grade given. If the writer would have made minor corrections to their portfolio, I think that it could have been placed in the A- range.
The paper was deserving of a B+. There were some errors that led to the paper being graded as a B+.
