LIS 450RRL: GRANTWRITING AND FUNDRAISING

Rubric for CONCEPT PAPER ASSIGNMENT

Criteria for Evaluation

Summer 2001

Four statements are provided below reflecting the criteria that I am using to evaluate and grade the third concept paper assignment. You have the option of applying the criteria to your own concept paper and giving me your self ratings and comments. We can then discuss those aspects where we differ (if any). We will use the same five point scale , where:

1 = Outstanding (beyond my expectations)

2 = Very Good (superior work)

3 = Good (perfectly satisfactory – equivalent to B)

4 = Acceptable but Needs Improvement (will be accompanied by some suggestions for ways to make the next assignment better)

5 = Unsatisfactory (will be returned with request to redo).

Rating

Criteria

 

The concept paper includes good statements of context, problems, solution, and estimated cost. The ideas are clear and the writing quality is good. The paper has a descriptive and catchy title.

 

The need paragraph addresses a broad social problem and includes some documentary support.

 

The proposed solution is linked logically to the problem. It shows an ability to reach a reasoned conclusion in light of the specified problem.

 

The ballpark estimate of cost appears reasonable for the proposed scope of solution. The organizational contribution is identified.
