Developed: an account that reflects some in-depth and personalized ideas; the student is making the work their own, going beyond the given -there is supported theory here, but insufficient or inadequate evidence and argument.

You did not incorporate enough information from the assigned readings in your responses to the questions: What Happens to Students When Assessments are Well Done Versus When They are Poorly done.

Intuitive: an incomplete account but with apt and insightful ideas; extends and deepens some of what was learned; some "reading between the lines"; account has limited support, argument, or data.
