Rubric: written assignment
Criteria Accomplished (A) Proficient (B) Partially proficient (C) Borderline (D) Fail (F)
Problem identification
The business issue has been correctly identified, with a competent and comprehensive
explanation of key driving forces and considerations. Impact on company operations
has been correctly identified. Thorough analysis of the issue is presented.
The student correctly identified the issue(s), taking into account a variety of
environmental and contextual drivers. Key case information has been identified and
analyzed.
The student correctly identified the case (issues), considering obvious
environmental/contextual drivers. There is evidence of analysis, but it lacks depth.
The student correctly identified the issue(s) but analysis was weak. An absence of
context – the work is basically descriptive with little analysis.
The student failed to correctly identify the issue(s); analysis was incorrect or too
superficial to be of use; information was misinterpreted.
Information gathering
The student showed skill in gathering information and analyzing it for the purposes of
filling the information gaps identified. Comprehensive and relevant.
Relevant information gaps were identified and additional relevant information was found
to fill them. At least two different types of sources were used. The student demonstrates
coherent criteria for selecting information but needs greater depth.
The student correctly identified at least one information gap and found relevant
information, but which was limited in scope. Some evidence of sound criteria for
selecting information but not consistent throughout. Needs expansion.
An information gap was identified and the student found additional information to fill it.
However, this was limited in scope. Weak criteria for the selection of necessary
information.
Information was taken at face value with no questioning of its relevance or value. Gaps
in the information were not identified or were incorrect.
Conclusions The student evaluated, analyzed, synthesized all information provided to
create a perceptive set of conclusions to support the decisions and solutions.
The student evaluated, analyzed and synthesized to create a conclusion(s) which
support decisions and solutions.
The student reached conclusions, but they were limited and provided minimal direction
for decision-making and solutions.
The conclusion was reasonable but lacked depth and would not be a basis for suitable
strategy development.
The student formed a conclusion, but it was not reasonable. It was either unjustified,
incorrect or unrelated to the case in hand.
Solutions The student used problem solving techniques to make thoughtful, justified
decisions about difficult and conflicting issues. A realistic solution was chosen which
would provide maximum benefit to the company. Alternative solutions were explored
and ruled out.
The student used problem solving techniques to make appropriate decisions about
complex issues. Relevant questions were asked and answered. A realistic solution was

simpler issues. The solution has limited benefit but does show understanding of
implications of the decision. Alternatives were mentioned but not explored.
The student used problem solving techniques to make decisions about simpler issues
but disregarded more complex issues. Implications of the decision were not considered.
Alternatives were not offered.
The student formed a conclusion, but it was not reasonable. It was either unjustified,
