Useful variants

  • Essay variant: add rows for thesis, evidence, analysis, citation, organization, and conclusion.
  • Presentation variant: add rows for slide clarity, speaking notes, evidence, timing, visuals, and upload requirements.
  • Group project variant: add an owner column and a blocked-question owner so responsibilities are visible.

How to adapt it

Replace bracketed text with your details, remove sections you do not need, and keep the final version short enough for the reader to act on.

FAQ

Can this be used for group work?

Yes. Add an owner column to each criterion so weak or blocked parts do not become invisible.

What should I do with blocked criteria?

Write the exact question, source, or rule that needs checking before submission.
