1 Point – Summary of issue is mostly accurate but some aspects are confused or lack the use of evidence; Supporting material is qualified and selective, though perhaps unintentional. Random sources selected adequately meet the information need. Analysis has limited ability to help clarify the issues and facilitate decision-making. Concepts are not clearly communicated. Little attempt is made to find answers in lectures and readings.
