Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.130 Rubrics and Self Assessment skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A student self-scores a draft about labor reform as Claim = 4, Evidence = 3, Reasoning = 3, and Source evaluation = 1. The draft uses an anonymous website as its main support without explaining who created it. Which revision goal best fits the rubric evidence?

AReplace or verify the anonymous website by identifying a reliable creator, then explain why the source is trustworthy for the labor reform claim.

BKeep the anonymous website because the claim score is already high.

CAdd more dramatic wording so readers do not notice the source issue.

DDelete all evidence and rely only on the writer's opinion.

Solution & Explanation:The lowest score is Source evaluation, so the revision should verify or replace the source and explain its reliability.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A final draft about sectional conflict has these rubric notes: Claim is arguable, Evidence includes the Missouri Compromise and Compromise of 1850, Reasoning explains only the first example, and Conclusion repeats the claim. Which revision plan is best before publishing?

AAdd reasoning after the Compromise of 1850 evidence and revise the conclusion to explain the larger pattern of growing sectional tension.

BDelete the Missouri Compromise evidence because one example is enough for every rubric.

CSpend all revision time changing the font and margins.

DAdd a new unrelated paragraph about the Revolutionary War.

Solution & Explanation:The notes show a reasoning gap for one evidence example and a weak conclusion. The best plan targets both issues without changing topic.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the planned annotated bibliography card visual. A draft uses facts from a website card but does not mention who created the website or why that matters. Which source-use goal best fits?

AAdd the website creator or organization and evaluate why that source is reliable or limited for the claim.

BUse the website facts without any source information.

CDelete all citations because citations slow the reader.

DAdd a different website name without checking it.

Solution & Explanation:The source-use issue is missing origin and reliability evaluation. Adding creator information and a brief evaluation targets the rubric.
