• Transitions exist but may be inappropriate or confusing
• Sentences are mostly correct (the occasional fragment or run on) but may be awkward

D Inadequate summary

• Misreads purpose/thesis of article; may invent too different a thesis for the article; may read so much into the article that it is somewhat unrecognizable
• Personal opinion may exist throughout
• Fails to use attributive tags and/or citations to indicate the information presented is the author’s and not the student’s
• Quotes are mostly unexplained
• Paraphrases are too close to original
• Transitions may be nonexistent
• Sentences contain many errors and boundary issues though they are readable

F Failing summary
