The Personal Response to Texts Assignment

INSUFFICIENT Personal Response to Text Assignment

Compositions that provide no evidence of an attempt to fulfill the task presented in the assignment are assessed as Insufficient.

Insufficient is a special category. It is not an indicator of quality. Compositions are assigned Insufficient when
  • the student has responded using a form other than prose OR
  • the student has written so little that it is not possible to assess Ideas and Impressions OR
  • there is no evidence that the topic presented in the assignment has been addressed OR
  • there is no connection between the text(s) provided in the assignment and the student’s response.
A composition will also be assessed as Insufficient if the student has responded using a form other than prose. Being assessed as Insufficient means your response will not receive a score for Ideas and Impressions or for Presentation.
