First Paper - Grading Rubric - Phil 101 - Fall 2017

First Paragraph (2 points)

The thesis clearly outlines the argument and structure of the paper. 2points

The thesis outlines only the argument or structure, or is vague in both. 1points

The thesis sentence offers little guidance to the content and organization of the paper. 0points

Second Paragraph (5 points)

Great: Clearly articulates Schwitzgebel’s definition of a jerk and spells out his reasons for giving this definition. Argues persuasively that Dale is a jerk, showing an appreciation for the the nuances of the situation. 5points

Between "great" and "good". 4points

Good: Gives Schwitzgebel’s definition of a jerk, but is not entirely clear or is slightly off on key points. The discussion tends to be summaries of the arguments/text as opposed to engaging with complicated ideas and arguing for a position. 3points

Between "good" and "room for improvement". 2points

Room for Improvement: The arguments deviate substantially from the prompt, either by being off topic or through significant mischaracterization. The paper does not place the arguments in the correct context, perhaps by making tangential arguments or drastically oversimplifying. 1points

Third Paragraph (5 points)

Great: Clearly articulates Polemarchus’ definition of justice. Argues that it it unjust to be a jerk on this definition and applies it to Dale, showing an appreciation for the the nuances of the situation. 5points

Between "great" and "good". 4points

Good: Gives Polemarchus’ definition of justice, but is not entirely clear or is slightly off on key points. The discussion tends to be summaries of the arguments/text as opposed to engaging with complicated ideas and arguing for a position. 3points

Between "good" and "room for improvement". 2points

Room for Improvement: The arguments deviate substantially from the prompt, either by being off topic or through significant mischaracterization. The paper does not place the arguments in the correct context, perhaps by making tangential arguments or drastically oversimplifying. 1points

Fourth Paragraph (5 points)

Great: Clearly articulates Thrasymachus’ definition of justice. Argues that it it unjust to be a jerk on this definition and applies it to Dale, showing an appreciation for the the nuances of the situation. 5points

Between "great" and "good". 4points

Good: Gives Thrasymachus’ definition of justice, but is not entirely clear or is slightly off on key points. The discussion tends to be summaries of the arguments/text as opposed to engaging with complicated ideas and arguing for a position. 3points

Between "good" and "room for improvement". 2points

Room for Improvement: The arguments deviate substantially from the prompt, either by being off topic or through significant mischaracterization. The paper does not place the arguments in the correct context, perhaps by making tangential arguments or drastically oversimplifying. 1points

Audience (3 points)

Keeps the audience in mind. Defines relevant terms and organizes explanations and reasons in a way that would make sense to a non-philosopher. 3points

Neglects many needs of the audience by leaving key terms undefined or by giving explanations that would be confusing to a non- philosopher. 2points

Entirely ignores the primary audience. If given to a non- philosopher, much of the paper will be undecipherable. 1points

This is the story of Dale, and although you don’t know him yourself, you’re all familiar with his type. He cuts in line for the bathroom, uses two spaces when he parks, takes out his bad mood on his partner, and even glares at his neighbors when their paths cross.

In this paper, you will argue that Dale is a jerk, and further, that being a jerk is unjust.

For many of you, this is your first philosophy class. To give direction to your writing, this paper will be highly structured. I’ll give you the outline of a great philosophy paper, and you fill it in with content. Assume that your reader knows nothing about philosophy. Write in a way that would make sense to a friend or roommate. Your paper should be concise and on point. Once you’ve written a draft, read each sentence in isolation and ask yourself “what does this contribute to the argument as a whole?” Maybe the sentence is already perfect, but more often than not a sentence can be tightened up or deleted entirely.

In the first paragraph, introduce the issue and state your thesis, all in four sentences or less. Space is limited, so you’ll have to get to the point quickly! (Don’t know what a thesis is? Look on iLearn for a link to info on how to write a philosophy paper). 

In the second paragraph, provide Schwitzgebel’s definition of “jerk”, outline his reasons for giving this definition, and argue that Dale is, in fact, a jerk. 

In the third paragraph, describe the definition of justice given by Polemarchus in The Republic. Argue that it is unjust to be a jerk on this definition, and explain how this applies to Dale.

In the fourth paragraph, give Thrasymachus’ view of justice, and argue that, on this definition as well, being a jerk is unjust. Again, how does this definition relate to the particulars of Dale’s situation? 

Finally, there is no one named Dale enrolled in this course, but if you know a Dale, please extend my sincere apologies. I’m sure it’s hard to have someone out there ruining their reputation like this.
