An example of wording from one of my graduate courses (Lois Lindell) that has a review of the literature assignment that had specific criteria to be met -- this is one subset from that rubric:

Possible points: 0 - 25 || Organization and Structure || Paper logically organized and well prepared with documented support for the conclusions presented. Structure includes: Introduction, Literature Review, Conclusions, Recommendations, and References. Guidelines are followed. || Paper logically organized but conclusions weakly supported by Literature Review section. Only two of the sections follow the guidelines. || Paper logically organized but conclusions not supported by Literature Review section. Only one of the sections follows the guidelines. || Paper not organized and no support documented for the Conclusion. Structure does not include all of the elements. Sections do not follow the guidelines. ||  ||
