- Directions for Staff Work Contribution:
- Directions for Content Contribution:
- This should be a completely polished draft, ready for possible publication on Trumbull Satellite.
- Share your project with me in an appropriate manner. (That is, do not try to attach a video to an email!). You can use KSU Google to share anything with me. See the Using Google Drive video that I made for how to do this for documents. You can also create a folder and upload files—PDFs, audio files, video, images, …) and share the folder with me. Alternatively, you can simply share a link to the project.
- Make sure that all elements of your project (including images, music, and video clips) is not in violation of copyright!
- Check (again) the Trumbull Satellite Rules & Regulations to make sure that your piece confirms to these standards.
- Send an email to the Content Manager and to me (to clrobins@kent.edu & to cblest@kent.edu) with one of the following statements:
- I grant Trumbull Satellite permission to publish my piece.
- I do not grant Trumbull Satellite permission to publish my piece.
NOTE: If no email is sent, it will be assumed that you are granting permission to publish the piece, if accepted. - REMEMBER: my evaluation of your work will not be affected by whatever happens with the Content Manager’s evaluation, whether your piece is accepted or rejected for use.
How to Submit Your Work to Me
You have options:
- Via KSU Google Document (see “How to Use KSU Google”).
- As a document (PDF or a word processor document) attached to an email sent to me (clrobins@kent.edu”).
How Your Work Will Be Evaluated
Your project will be evaluated in terms of:
-
- how close it comes to being what was indicated as being intended in your proposal
- its professional appearance (form) and content
- regardless of the medium, it should not have any “glitches” or other sloppiness
- it should be “publication/production ready”
- be it an image, a piece of writing, a video work, an audio work, or something else, it should be a smooth and coherent composition
- if you are working with an editor or producer, remember that the responsibility for this piece ultimately lies with you
- it should not violate any copyright or other rules
- its depth of thought—be it humor or a very serious piece; it should make a clear statement (even if it is a profoundly silly one)
GRADING RUBRIC
An A level piece is clearly a finished, polished piece that directly matches the plans indicated in your final draft proposal. It has depth of thought and is successful in relaying its meaning, argument, humor, and/or emotion. The work has a solid sense of audience—whether that audience is local, regional, national, or international—and it is clear for what type of audience it is intended. It is not propaganda. The genre and discipline are clear (be it a work of surrealistic art or a work of fact-finding journalism).
A B level piece is nearly a finished, polished piece that mostly matches the plans indicated in your final draft proposal. It has some depth of thought and is mostly successful in relaying its meaning, argument, humor, and/or emotion. The work has a pretty good sense of audience—whether that audience is local, regional, national, or international—and it is mostly clear for what type of audience it is intended. It is not propaganda. The genre and discipline are clear (be it a work of surrealistic art or a work of fact-finding journalism).
A C level piece is a finished, not-quite-polished piece that seems to generally match the plans indicated in your final draft proposal. It has some depth of thought and is sufficiently successful in relaying its meaning, argument, humor, and/or emotion. The work has a vague sense of audience—whether that audience is local, regional, national, or international—and it is mostly clear for what type of audience it is intended. It is not propaganda. The genre and discipline are clear (be it a work of surrealistic art or a work of fact-finding journalism).
A D level piece is not finished, though it seems to generally match the plans indicated in your final draft proposal. It has some indication for potential depth of thought, but is weak in relaying its meaning, argument, humor, and/or emotion. The work might or might not have a sense of audience—whether that audience is local, regional, national, or international—it is unclear for what type of audience it is intended. It is not propaganda. The genre and discipline are clear (be it a work of surrealistic art or a work of fact-finding journalism).
An F level piece has any or all of the following qualities. It doesn’t really follow your proposal intentions; there is no indications of depth of thought. The work might or might not have a sense of audience—whether that audience is local, regional, national, or international—it is unclear for what type of audience it is intended. It seems to be little more than propaganda, or fake news. It is not clear under what genre and/or discipline the work falls.
