There are multiple types of essays that everyone should be able to write or be familiar with and they are: analytical, argumentative (persuasive), cause & effect, compare & contrast, critical, definition & expository, descriptive, experimental research, interpretative, literary analysis, literature review,  reports, and surveys.

Analytical , the analytical research paper often begins with the student asking a question (a.k.a. a research question) on which he has taken no stance. such a paper is often an exercise in exploration and evaluation. this type of paper hopes to offer a well-supported critical analysis without necessarily persuading the reader to any particular way of thinking. , the kinds of instructions for an analytical assignment include: 'analyze', 'compare', 'contrast', 'relate', and 'examine'., example: do later school start times increase student success, argumentative (persuasive), the argumentative research paper consists of an introduction in which the writer clearly introduces the topic and informs his audience exactly which stance he intends to take. an important goal of the argumentative research paper is persuasion, which means the topic chosen should be debatable or controversial., the kinds of instructions for a persuasive assignment include: 'argue', 'evaluate', 'discuss', and 'take a position'. example: self-driving cars are dangerous and should be banned from the streets., the argumentative essay  - lois roma-deeley & john nelson, causal analysis - cause & effect  a cause is something that produces an event or condition; an effect is what results from an event or condition. the purpose of the cause-and-effect essay is to determine how various phenomena relate in terms of origins and results. sometimes the connection between cause and effect is clear, but often determining the exact relationship between the two is very difficult., causal analysis information  - lois roma-deeley & john nelson, compare & contrast, this essay is needed to analyze the differences between two subjects, authors, viewpoints, leadership styles, or other criteria and it is a common assignment for subjects such as literature, philosophy, social sciences, and many other disciplines. , writing the comparison essay  - lois roma-deeley & john nelson, critical , critical writing is common for research, postgraduate and advanced undergraduate writing. it has all the features of persuasive writing, with the added feature of at least one other point of view. while persuasive writing requires you to have your own point of view on an issue or topic, critical writing requires you to consider at least two points of view, including your own., for example, you may explain a researcher's interpretation or argument and then evaluate the merits of the argument, or give your own alternative interpretation. examples of critical writing assignments include a critique of a journal article or a literature review that identifies the strengths and weaknesses of existing research. the kinds of instructions for critical writing include: 'critique', 'debate', 'disagree' and 'evaluate'., characteristics of a critical thinker  - dr. tom butler,  it is a focused analysis of a piece of writing or a live performance. while it may contain a sentence or two of summary material, the critique will offer the reader a “considered evaluation” of the writing or performance in question., how to write a critique  - pvcc english division, definition & expository , an expository essay "exposes" the reader to a new topic; it informs the reader with descriptions or explanations of a subject. if you are writing an expository essay, your thesis statement should explain to the reader what they will learn in your essay. example: how to lead a healthy lifestyle on a tight budget., descriptive/narrative , the simplest type of academic writing is descriptive. its purpose is to provide facts or information. an example would be a summary of an article or a report of the results of an experiment. the kinds of instructions for a purely descriptive assignment include: 'identify', 'report', 'record', 'summarize' and 'define'.​, writing the descriptive/narrative essay  - lois roma-deeley & john nelson, experimental research, this essay is commonly written for biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, and sociology papers. it is used to describe an experimental research case in detail. the student conducts the experiment, shares their results and provides data evidence and sums up the case.  the paper describes your experiment with supporting data and an analysis of the experiment. experiments are aimed to explain some causation or predict a fact or reality with certain actions., interpretive,  this essay requires one to use the knowledge that he or she has gained from a particular case study situation, for example, a poem or work of art, or material from business and psychology fields. this paper requires using learned theoretical knowledge to write the paper and using supporting information for the thesis statement and findings., literary analysis, the purpose of a literary analysis essay is to carefully examine and sometimes evaluate a work of literature or an aspect of a work of literature. , literature review, a "literature review“ is a critical analysis of a segment of a published body of knowledge through summary, classification, and comparison of prior research studies, reviews of literature, and theoretical articles” (university of wisconsin writing center)., outlines the case of a study situation. as a rule, such text includes the summary of a breakdown, situation, identification of the main issue, and recommendations, which means that it is basically a logical and detailed summary of some case study situation. a report is a mere restatement of the significant elements or components of a piece of writing or a live performance. it is, primarily, a summary of the substantial elements (the who, what, where, when and how) which are embedded in a piece of writing or a live performance. .

Rubric Development for English 101, 102, 110, 111, and Elective Courses

Jason Matthew Buchanan, Assistant Professor English Department

Clarence Henry Robertson, Lecturer English Department

Our goal was to develop rubrics that could be used in multiple classes taught in the English Department. There were two major issues that the rubrics needed to address: one, the rubrics needed to be able to effectively assess the skills being taught in the classroom; two, the rubrics needed to be easily incorporated by professors into their teaching style and schedule.

Brief Description of the Sequence of English Courses

Throughout the sequence of English classes, there is at least one common assignment shared by multiple classes. In English 101—111, all classes must take a shared Final Exam. Although the English 111 Final Exam is different from the exam for 101—110, all sections of 111 must take the same common Final. In Elective courses, all classes must complete a research paper. The rubrics were designed around these assignments for two key reasons: their position as a common assignment across classes and their previous existence as an assignment that professors were already in the habit of teaching. These two benefits allow for professors to, basically, retain the same structure of their classes. Completing and submitting the rubric is the only new step in the pedagogical process.

Developing the Rubrics for the Common Assignments

In creating the rubrics, the goal was to balance the General Education Core Competencies with the courses’ Student Learning Outcomes (SLO), which were developed by the English Department. To begin, the Gen. Ed. Competencies were examined to find one element from each category—Skills, Subject Area Knowledge, Synthesis and Application, and Global Citizenship—that was present in the courses. After finding the most compatible Competencies, the SLOs for each course were examined to find any SLOs that had a connection to the Gen. Ed Competencies. For instance, the Skills category A1 matched up with SLO 1 for English 101-111 classes. These SLOs became the central language for our rubrics since they not only thematically matched the Gen. Ed. Core Competencies but also were skills that should be evident in the common assignments shared by the courses.

Designing the Rubrics

The language of the Gen. Ed Competencies was used as the criteria for the rubric. It included one Core Competency from each category. The language for the task descriptions came directly from the SLOs of the courses. The language for the scale—the portion of the rubric that describes how the assignment was completed—was taken directly from the sample rubrics created by the Gen. Ed. Rubrics Subcommittee.

Current State of the Rubrics

Currently, the rubrics are waiting to be presented to the English department where they will be evaluated by the Committees responsible for each course (e.g. Eng 110 Committee, Eng 111 Committee, etc.). Once cleared by these committees, the rubrics will be voted on by the English Department Curriculum Committee to become official parts of the English Curriculum.
