Grading Rubric for Written Papers HIM 220
This rubric is adopted from the Association of American Colleges and Universities LEAP Initiative
Goal: Critical thinking is a habit of mind characterized by the comprehensive exploration of issues, ideas, artifacts, and events before accepting or formulating an opinion or conclusion. Written Assignments are used to help the student develop the knowledge and skills to articulate their thoughts in a clear, concise, evidence-based format consistent with the standards of professional practice.

Benchmark indicates the minimal level performance expected. Emerging is below expectations. Evaluators will assign a zero to any work that does not meet Emerging level performance.

Explanation of Issues
Development of a clear focused thesis statement    Issue/problem to be considered critically is stated clearly and described comprehensively, delivering all relevant information necessary for full understanding.     Issue/problem to be considered critically is stated, described, and clarified so that understanding is not seriously impeded by omissions.    Issue/problem to be considered critically is stated but description leaves some terms undefined, ambiguities unexplored, boundaries undetermined, and/or backgrounds unknown.    Issue/problem to be considered critically is stated without clarification or description.
APA Formatting and Style
Reflective of fluid  grammatically correct and accurate attribution of evidence consistent with professional practice standards    Paper is well organized with a compelling introduction supported by strong evidence.  The paper has a well-developed body, analysis, and conclusion.  Demonstrates greater than 95% compliance with APA format and grammar rules. Attribution is well documented.     Paper has a strong introduction, body, analysis, and conclusion. Paper demonstrates between 85%-95% compliance with APA style and format.  Student has a clear understanding of attribution for synthesis of several authors.    Paper is organized and has an introduction, body, limited analysis and a conclusion.  Paper demonstrates 80-85% compliance with APA format and Style.  Appropriately and accurately paraphrases and summarizes without distortion of original content.    Paper has an elementary organization with introduction, body, conclusion has simple thesis statement using simple search strategies.  Distinguishes between common knowledge and information requiring attribution.
Evidence
Selecting and using information to investigate a point of view or conclusion    Information is taken from source(s) with enough interpretation/evaluation to develop a comprehensive analysis or synthesis.
Viewpoints of experts are questioned thoroughly. Greater than 85% of the referenced articles are from discipline specific peer-reviewed journals and 15% of sources come from interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journals with synthesis from disciplines evident.     Information is taken from source(s) with enough interpretation/evaluation to develop a coherent analysis or synthesis.
Viewpoints of experts are subject to questioning, but not well developed. Greater than 20% of references come from discipline specific peer-reviewed journals and 10% of references come from interdisciplinary sources, with enough analysis to develop a coherent consensus.    Information is taken from source(s) with some interpretation/evaluation, but not enough to develop a coherent analysis or synthesis.
Viewpoints of experts are taken as mostly fact, with little questioning. 5-20% of the references come from discipline specific peer-reviewed journals.    Information is taken from source(s) without any interpretation/evaluation.
Viewpoints of experts are taken as fact, without question. Limited sources from peer-reviewed journals less than 5% from specific discipline, and > 5% for interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journals.
Influence of Context and Assumptions
Demonstrates an understanding of the intended audience.     Thoroughly (systematically and methodically) analyzes own (if applicable) and others’ assumptions and carefully evaluates the relevance of contexts when presenting a position. Is mindful of the contextual principles of the specific discipline for which the student is enrolled.    Identifies own and others’ assumptions and several relevant contexts when presenting a position.    Questions some assumptions.  Identifies several relevant contexts when presenting a position. May be more aware of others’ assumptions than one’s own (or vice versa).    Shows an emerging awareness of present assumptions (sometimes labels assertions as assumptions). Begins to identify some contexts when presenting a position.
Conclusions and Related Outcomes (Implications and Consequences)    Conclusions and related outcomes (consequences and implications) are logical and reflect student’s informed evaluation and ability to place evidence and perspectives discussed in priority order.    Conclusion is logically tied to a range of information, including opposing viewpoints; related outcomes (consequences and implications) are identified clearly.    Conclusion is logically tied to information (because information is chosen to fit the desired conclusion); some related outcomes (consequences and implications) are identified clearly.    Conclusion is inconsistently tied to some of the information discussed; related outcomes (consequences and implications) are oversimplified.

HIM 220: Healthcare Data Systems Course Paper Guidelines
Overview

The final project for this course is the creation of a Healthcare Informatics Research Paper. The final product represents an authentic demonstration competency, as students will choose related topics to those present in today’s healthcare industry. The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Three, and Seven.

Main Elements
The topic for the course paper needs to center around healthcare informatics or a subset of it, such as compliance issues, the use of databases in healthcare informatics, the job market for healthcare informatics professionals, and so on. The subject matter of your paper must be approved by the instructor. Some suggested topics include:
Choose a healthcare database environment; develop a scenario of its utilization of electronic medical records and data exchange.
Data mining in health informatics
Investigate and report on up and coming technologies that will continue to transform the healthcare industry

The subject approved by the instructor is The Standards of Health Informatics. In the paper we should be able to find the different standards of health informatics and we should also find the advantages and disadvantages of following those standards
Scholarly Paper Guidelines
The purpose of this section is to highlight the steps to take in writing a scholarly paper for your courses at the College of Online and Continuing Education at SNHU.

In the Nursing and Healthcare programs, all papers will follow APA format and style. For detailed information about APA, visit the APA site at http://www.apastyle.org. Information can also be located at the Purdue OWL website, supported by Purdue University, at http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/. Note that there are other links found in the Course Information tab for specific topics about APA.

APA Page Setup:
Pages should be set with 1-inch margins.
Font should be 12-point Times New Roman.
Lines should be doubled-spaced throughout the document, without extra spaces at the top or bottom of the page or between paragraphs or sections.
A complete document includes a title page, an abstract (if the instructor requires it), the body of the paper, a reference list, and appendices (if indicated). The paper should be 10 to 12 pages in length, not including cover page.

Basic Structure of Scholarly Writing:
Introduction
Body (development of the points)
Conclusion

Study Approach to the Assignment:
Understand what the assignment is having you do. What is the topic, question, and focus of the assignment?
Begin your research and choose your sources; take notes about the main points in the article.
Decide on your thesis statement and prepare a writing plan. The writing plan is an outline of the paper.
Outline:
Start with major themes from the literature.
Consider the point you want to make related to each theme, related to your thesis statement. Remember that you will want to include other perspectives and either support or refute the perspective when applicable.
Insert details of point development under each theme. Include a notation of the reference sources so that you can include that in the paper.
Begin writing.
Check your paper and correct any grammatical and spelling errors prior to submitting the body of your paper to TurnItIn.
Submit the body of your paper to TurnItIn at least 24 hours before the due date (you should consider submitting 72 hours before—in case TurnItIn is delayed—so that you have time to make any final revisions before submitting the paper for a grade before the deadline). Review the report when it comes back and save it to your computer. When you review the report, look at the source matching and ensure that you have paraphrased and cited the information correctly in the paper.
Submit your paper as a Word document in the appropriate section.

More Details about Parts of the Paper:
The abstract should summarize the content of the report, not be an introduction (the “tone” of the abstract should be similar to news broadcast). Include the following: a) what the paper is about, b) types of resources used to investigate your report and how they were obtained, and c) significant implications. Limit the abstract to 150 words or less.
The body of the paper begins with the introduction (page 3 of the paper if there is an abstract). Repeat the title of the paper on the first line of the page, but do not add the title “introduction.” In APA term papers, the first paragraph of the paper is understood to be the introduction.
The introduction should:
Relate the purpose of the paper (e.g., to present the issue and suggest how to resolve it?).
Define key concepts.
Indicate the significance.
State your thesis statement. The thesis statement should reflect that you have chosen a position that is stated in one sentence and that answers the assignment question. However, remember to use APA style to make your thesis statement. This means you will not use the first-person perspective (“I” statements). Also note: Often, there is no “right” or “wrong” answer to the question. The point is to take a position and then present arguments—or rationales—that support your position.
Next, there should be a development of points (arguments) that were mentioned in the introduction. The body looks at, analyzes, and evaluates the evidence (from the literature) and makes connections that present your points, step by step (a logical development of rationale), to support your thesis statement. A major part of the grade for writing assignments relates to the writing skills of presenting your argument.
There should be a clear indication of the significance of the problem to nursing practice or other discipline, supported by the literature (note that the introduction merely introduces it; the development expounds on the introduction).
Then, present the arguments about how to manage this issue or topic. Remember to present the main points of each author, analyzing and evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of each position. Consider any relationships between what the authors have said. Is there any overlap? Are there any gaps? Do the authors make valid points?
Consider what applies from the article(s) that support your persuasive argument. Use all of the literature to back up your statements; synthesizing the information from your articles (no more than 20% of the paper should be quoted material). Also, avoid using bulleted lists.
The last paragraph of the body of the paper will be the conclusion. The conclusion should assess the issue by summarizing the points made in the paper (and not introduce any “new” points) by stating any further recommendations about the topic and by ending with a repeat of your thesis statement to emphasize your position on the assignment question.

The paper will end with a reference list of each reference cited in the paper. You must follow any specific instructions made by your instructor. When you conduct your literature search, you will find many articles and must decide which articles to use. Consider the following:
Use articles that were published within the past five years.
Look for peer-reviewed articles in notable journals (For nursing: Avoid nurse-opinion articles posted on the internet from nursing websites, such as The Center for Nursing Advocacy, Nursezone.com, and others. Also, avoid hospital organization sites.) Look at the major nursing journals (do a Shapiro Library lit search instead of an internet search). You may consider using a position statement from a nursing organization as one of the resources.
Do not use Wikipedia as a reference.

Writing to Convince Assignment: Decide on a controversial social issue and write a formal argumentative essay. (A controversial issue involves differing points of view and conflicting claims.) Select an issue you are curious about and will enjoy researching and writing. You will enter the debate with your own argument and articulate your claim/position about the controversy. Think of your argument as identifying a gap in the conversation or extending the debate in some way. Your goal is to argue your position persuasively, adding to the conversation. Since arguer-audience connection is crucial in a persuasive essay, you need to identify a real audience to target your argument. “People who are against my position” is not a specific audience description, so you need to think about your audience in more detailed terms by considering, for example, their stance, reasons for taking that position, their moral and ethical values, political and religious beliefs, assumptions about society and culture, age, gender, social status, and possible objections to your argument. Imagine that you will present your argument in front of this audience. Part I: Requirements for the Essay You must use at least 6 academic and credible sources in this paper. At least 3 of these sources should be from ASU library databases. (Please watch the videos in the “Research Help” module for reference.) All sources should be incorporated into the essay effectively by using signal phrases and cited correctly according to APA style. (Please watch the videos in the “Documenting Sources” module for help.) Prior to writing the rough draft, you will research your topic using ASU library databases and the Internet and map out your ideas for the essay by completing a relevant discussion board and an eBook assignment. Your argument should be targeted for a specific audience and developed using 2-3 audience-based reasons. These are reasons that are rooted in your audience’s values and beliefs, reasons that will sound the most convincing for them. You should also identify 2-3 counter-arguments that your audience may raise to challenge you and respond to them by either refuting or conceding to them. You will complete a relevant discussion assignment to help you with this audience requirement. You should use the rhetorical appeals (logos, pathos, and ethos) effectively with your target audience and purpose in mind. Your tone and diction should also be appropriate for this audience. Ask yourself how you will appeal to your audience’s intellect and make a logical argument, engage them emotionally and appeal to their values/beliefs, and how you will come across as a credible, trustworthy writer. Overused Topics: Unless you have a personal connection to the topic and have obtained permission from your instructor, don’t focus your project on any of following issues, as they either a) are too generic or common, b) don’t promote creative idea generation, or c) lack sufficient depth. Instead, challenge yourself to research and learn about a topic that you don’t know much about. Abortion, death penalty, decriminilization of marijuana, euthanasia, eating disorders or body image, global warming, negative effects of the media, religion or God, stem cells or cloning, steroids, recycling, homelessness, gun control, sex education, animal testing, gay marriage, immigration, vaccination. Length and Format: 1500-2000 words of typed text (excluding the References list) double-spaced and in APA style. It must be submitted as a Word document as doc, docx, or rtf file — not pages or odt

In each essay you will do a literature review and analyze/discuss the related issues of a specific topic. The topics can be, but not limited to: Information Retrieval (IR) in library context; understanding IR user, vocabulary control in IR; and effectively evaluating IR system For each essay, it shall contain the following subsections: Introduction (1 page) Literature review of THREE topic related research papers (2-3 pages). Critical analysis and discussions (1-2 pages) Summary and conclusions (1 page) Reference list (1 page) The number of page for each subsection is only for your reference. Even though each essay includes a literature review, it is also important that you do not turn this essay into an overview or a tutorial. Instead, you need to apply the theories you learned from the class to critically discuss some issues regarding a topic. Remember, each essay in the dossier will be graded individually. For the literature review, please Do not simply concatenate several abstracts from papers; Do not choose all THREE literatures from class reading materials (you can only use ONE if you want). ** I have an example I can provide
