GEOG 1303 ACTIVITY 1 RUBRICIn Activity #1 you looked at the concept of and situations that lead to the tragedy of the commons. The assignment required you to complete four scenarios and send a summary that included specific components. The following rubric explains the points you received based on the summary you sent. ___ Completion of four scenarios (4 points max) ___ The basic idea of TOC (1 point max) ___ Discussion of conflict between shared resources and goals (2 points max) ___ Explanation of consequences of overuse (2 points max) ___ Specific and detailed connections to course content (1 point max) This is the part of the assignment in which you should show off how much you know. You should have already gone through the margin notes and presentations that deal with relevant topics so it should be easy to make those connections. ___ Correct spelling and grammar (No points counted off on 1st assignment.) If necessary, work on your spelling and grammar before you start losing points. ___ Submitted by deadline OR ___ days late. (Subtract 1 point per day late.) I tend to be a bit more lenient than usual when I grade the first assignment. I know students aren’t sure initially what a professor expects so, for example, I might give the maximum points for an answer that really wasn’t fully developed, didn’t provide enough detail or etc. On future assignments I’ll use a rubric based on the assignment instructions as I’ve done here but I will hold students responsible for complying with all of the instructions. An assignment that includes words such as detailed, specific, discuss, explain, why, understanding, thorough, relevant concepts or etc, almost always requires an organized and in-depth response written in complete sentences and using correct spelling and grammar.
