Judgement

When judging a paper I would look for many important things. The most important thing I would look for in a paper is did the person follow directions. If this person did not follow the directions and not meet the criteria, then the paper would have no meaning to me. The topic of the paper is very important, because a teacher ask a student to write a paper to find out if the student understood the topic and if the student learned anything for the topic. The second most important thing to writing a paper is word choice. If the person does not use the correct word choice the paper may not flow well. If the paper does not flow well, the paper can be confusing and boring. If the paper does not catch my attention I do not enjoy reading it and it makes it hard for me to want to judge it. If the person uses the right word choice and makes the paper interesting I would have no problem reading it and help them out in the few spots that they needed. The last important thing for me when judging a paper is the grammar. I understand we all make a few typing errors here and there, but when it is consistent I have to point it out to them to help them fix their errors. When judging someone there is a difference between being helpful and being rude. If I had to judge a paper I would make sure that I am trying to help them and not hurt them. It is hard to judge someone but it is even harder to be judge. We all need to try to remember that the person judging us is trying to help us out.
