Talking points (choose one or your own theme/topic of discussion):

Rubric for Grading
This assignment will not be graded primarily in terms of written presentation. I will be looking
for three things when I assign grades:
1- Following Instructions: Did you complete the assignment according to the instructions
above? (.5 points)
2- Clarity: Do you explain yourself in a way that is clear, concise, and well-organized? Though
this is an informal assignment, and you will not be graded on grammar and written presentation, your writing should be clear enough that someone who has never taken a course
in Religious Studies could read it and understand it (1 point).
3- Careful, Contemplative Reasoning: It should be evident that you have actually thought
carefully about the reading and/or talking point that you are responding to, and that you have
put some time and consideration into framing your ideas, based on the course material (1.5
point).
