Refer to the
Elements of Professional Presentation web page
for explanations of the criteria.
The following identifies the criteria that I will use to grade
the communications assignments in my courses. The percentages assigned to each
criteria will change as necessary and appropriate for any given learning task.
Generally, these criteria come from, Effective Writing: A Handbook for Accountants,
by Claire
