PSY 3211 Article Critique Self-Rating Rubric

You will get
10 points for filling out and submitting this along with your article critique paper. The purpose of this is for you to reflect on the quality of your paper.
This is due when your article critique is due.

Place your rating for each category below, then add your ratings for each category at the bottom where it says “total”. For example, if you believe that your description of the kind of study deserves 3 out of 4 points (because you know your explanation is not sufficient), it should look like this: “your rating: 3” Please write your ratings in a different color font so that they are easier to see.

Please put effort into your ratings. Do not simply give yourself a 50/50. Really reflect on the quality of your paper and whether you meet all the criteria listed. If it is clear that you have not reflected sufficiently on your paper (e.g., you give a rating of 2/2 for something that is actually missing form your paper), you will lose points.

We will use this very same rubric when we grade your paper! This does not mean that you are guaranteed to get the grade you give yourself, but it should help to minimize any surprises when you get your grade.

Grammar and Writing Quality (8 points total)

Check your grammar and writing for the entire paper. Make sure to proof read, and cite & paraphrase properly. Avoid personal pronouns like “us”, “we”, “you”, and “I”. For a scientific paper like this, go with more objective words like “people”, “participants”, “users”, or “viewers” etc. 

If your paper lacks originality and contains too much overlap with the paper you are summarizing (i.e. you do not paraphrase appropriately or cite your sources properly), you will lose some or all of the points from writing quality, depending on the extent of the overlap with the paper. For example, if sentences contain only one or two words changed from a sentence in the original paper, you will lose points from writing quality.

Your Rating for Writing Quality:

Your Total Grade: /50 points (add up all “total ratings” above from each of the 6 categories to get your total self-grade).
