assigned to allrows of the rubric when the response is off-topic;a repetition of a prompt;entirely crossed-out;a drawing or othermarkings;or a response in a language other than English.  \nNR(No Response)  \nA score of NR is assigned to responses that are blank.  \n### Question 1:Argument,main idea,or thesis\n\n\n| Reporting  \u003Cbr>Category   | Scoring Criteria   |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Row 1  \u003Cbr>Understand  \u003Cbr>and Analyze  \u003Cbr>Argument  \u003Cbr>(0-3 points)   | 0 points  \u003Cbr>Does not meet the criteria for one  \u003Cbr>point.   | 1 point  \u003Cbr>The response misstates the author's  \u003Cbr>argument,main idea,or thesis.   | 2 points  \u003Cbr>The response identifies,in part and  \u003Cbr>with some accuracy,the author's  \u003Cbr>argument,main idea,or thesis.   | 3 points  \u003Cbr>The response accurately identifies the  \u003Cbr>author's argument,main idea,or  \u003Cbr>thesis.   |\n|  | Decision Rules and Scoring Notes   |  |  |  |\n|  | Typical responses that earn 0 points:  \u003Cbr>● Are irrelevant to the argument (do  \u003Cbr>not even relate to the topic or  \u003Cbr>subject of the text)   | Typical responses that earn 1 point:  \u003Cbr>● Misidentify the main argument or  \u003Cbr>provide little or no indication of  \u003Cbr>understanding of any part of the  \u003Cbr>main argument.  \u003Cbr>● Just state the topic of the  \u003Cbr>argument.  \u003Cbr>● Restate the title or heading.   | Typical responses that earn 2 points:  \u003Cbr>● Accurately identify only part of  \u003Cbr>the argument(part is omitted or is  \u003Cbr>overgeneralized).  \u003Cbr>● Describe all parts,but either  \u003Cbr>vaguely or with some inaccuracy.   | Typical responses that earn 3 points:  \u003Cbr>● Correctly identify allof the main  \u003Cbr>parts of the argument.  \u003Cbr>● Demonstrate understanding of the  \u003Cbr>argument as a whole.   |\n|  |  | Examples that earn 1 point:  \u003Cbr>Misidentify the main argument  \u003Cbr>·\"Humor in the workplace does  \u003Cbr>damage to the environment.\"  \u003Cbr>Restate the title or heading  \u003Cbr>·“Laughter is good.”   | Examples that earn 2 points  \u003Cbr>Identify only part of the argument  \u003Cbr>● “Laughter increases immune and  \u003Cbr>cardiovascular function.\"  \u003Cbr>● “Laughter increases the ability to  \u003Cbr>focus and boosts morale,  \u003Cbr>innovation,and employee  \u003Cbr>retention.\"  \u003Cbr>Describe all parts,but either vaguely  \u003Cbr>or with some inaccuracy  \u003Cbr>● “Laughter in the workplace  \u003Cbr>benefits the body,mind,and  \u003Cbr>organization.\"   | Examples that earn 3 points:  \u003Cbr>Include all parts of the argument  \u003Cbr>·“Laughter benefits our immune and  \u003Cbr>cardiovascular function as well as  \u003Cbr>the workplace by increasing our  \u003Cbr>ability to focus,boosting morale  \u003Cbr>and innovation,and increasing  \u003Cbr>employee retention.\"   |\n|  | Additional Notes  \u003Cbr>The argument/thesis has three main parts:  \u003Cbr>1.Laughter benefits the workplace (e.g.,should be encouraged).  \u003Cbr>2.Laughter benefits the employee's physical ealth,cognitive functioning and/or emotional ealth(e.g.immune and cardiovascular function,ability to  \u003Cbr>focus/reducing stress).(Accept any one of the three benefits or examples of benefits)  \u003Cbr>3.Laughter benefits workplace effectiveness/environment(by boosting morale,innovation,productivity,and employee retention).   |  |  |  |\n\n### Question 2:Explain line of
