Rubrics for Grading APA-Style Papers
These are the grading rubrics that we currently use to grade APA-style writing in our Introduction to Research Methods class. We have rubrics for the Introduction, Method, Results & Discussion, and a complete paper. The Introduction rubric is a minor revision of the rubric developed and described in: Stellmack, Konheim-Kalkstein, Manor, Massey, and Schmitz (2009), An assessment of reliability and validity of a rubric for APA-style introductions, Teaching of Psychology, 36, 102-107. Feel free to email me ([email protected]) if you have questions or comments.
