Essay Three Rubric

1. Group Interaction:
Exactly 3/4 of our group did their jobs efficiently. I believe that I did my fair share, as did a few of my partners. That particular fraction that I mentioned met often and discussed the issues and obstacles placed before us. I don't feel that every member did all they could to keep our essay on track. Which brings me to my next point...

2. Use of Contract:
We don't, at least the punishment area, use our contract. A few of us actually uphold the guidelines that the contract has set in place, such as meeting every day and posting often. Not all the members make constant contributions, and even seem to think that they must acquire permission to actually post things... or simply use this as an excuse to not have things posted. We, as a group, severely need to revise our contract.

3. Use of Wiki:
As always, the wiki was a key ingredient to our essay's completion and credibility. EVERY group member is LOGGED ON to wiki every day during class, to say the least. Not every member posts or utilizes the information on the wiki all the time, however.

4. Individual Progress:
I feel like I have progressed in my writing abilities, which tends to be the pattern after I finish an essay. Working together with my group members put a spin on my own personal style very differently than it did during the last essay with Kara. Kara and I agreed on a writing style from the get go (arguably) but Ericka, Megan, Patrick and I didn't officially compose a general plan... I feel like we should have done that; I should have started that talk up at some point before we actually started writing... it would have made things go much smoother, I believe.
