Assessment: Part Two • Has the student composed, using text and visuals, in a way that is consistent with course work? • Does the visual make an argument? • Evaluative? Propositional? • How well does the interplay of text and visual make that argument? • Rhetorical Principles (Audience, Purpose, Context, Tone/Style, Appeals) • C.R.A.P + Kress and Van Leeuwen
Is the argument relevant to the course and to the assignment? • Is it interesting? Is it clear and focused? • Diana George
