If Your Instructor uses the Holistic Score...
If your instructor has opted to use it, you may see a Score 1-6.
This is called your Holistic Score. It can be used as one more tool to analyze your writing skills.
It is not a grade!

Holistic ScoresGenerally the scores mean: Levels 5-6 Acceptable - may still have grammatical or usage errorsRemember- Acceptable or Satisfactory generally translates to a "C" - not necessarily an "A"
Levels 3-4Needs improvement- problems with organization and trait levels
Levels 1-2 Needs a lot of helpMany problems identified
A score of N/A
generally means "not available" or there is no holistic score available for that assignment.
