Evaluating texts: When assigning a rating to a text use the whole scale of 10 points. The following guidelines define the criteria for scores. • 1 or 2 The discussion is completely unsatisfactory. It does not demonstrate an understanding of the principles. Serious mis-statements have been made. The discussion is disorganized and unclear. • 3 or 4 The discussion is not a finished effort. Only a vague understanding of the principles involved is demonstrated. Erroneous statements have been made. Important principles have been omitted. The text lacks good organization or clarity in presentation. • 5 or 6 The discussion is acceptable but does not demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of the concepts. It omits important principles and possibly contains irrelevant statements. An attempt at organization and clear presentation has been made. • 7 or 8 The discussion is a good quality effort. It demonstrates an understanding of the principles and no erroneous statements are made. Some inappropriate references to details or irrelevant statements may be included. The text is organized and clear. • 9 or 10 The discussion excels in all areas. A sophisticated understanding of the concepts is demonstrated without unnecessary statements. All statements are correct. The text is well organized and clearly presented. Important Points: • CPR uses a centralized UCLA time and does NOT use the time on a local computer (i.e. your home computer). You can check the CPR time by clicking on the "CPR Time" link on the top of the assignment screens. • CPR depends on ALL students finishing assignments. Problems should be reported immediately to CPR technical support to insure the highest possible completion rate by students. • Always save your text entry on another computer or floppy disk before submitting it to CPR. • Most Internet Service Providers (i.e. Bruin On-Line, America OnLine) terminate Internet connections that have not been used for more than 15 - 20 minutes. If a connection is terminated and you try to submit work, it will be LOST. • You should always complete each stage of the assignment earlier than the due date. If there are technical difficulties with the program, you still have time to re-submit the assignment. If you wait till the last minutes and if there are problems with the program, you will miss the due date. • You will NOT be allowed to complete the assignment in you do not do Stage 1 and submit a text.
