Marking Rubric for Paraphrases
Mark /5    Quality of paraphrase
5    Response remains true to the central ideas in the original passage, and fully expresses the original meaning. Where applicable, prestige abstracts are used.  Where possible, key words have been replaced with appropriate alternatives. Sentence structure and organization does not mimic that of the original. Writing is of superior quality (e.g., grammar, punctuation, sentence structure and word choices).
4    Response is mostly true to the central ideas in the original passage, but does not fully express the original meaning. Where applicable, prestige abstracts are used. Where possible, key words have been replaced with appropriate alternatives. Sentence structure in paraphrase does not mimic that of the original. Writing is of good quality (e.g., grammar, punctuation, sentence structure and word choices).
3    Response only partially captures the central ideas. Not all original wording is replaced with appropriate alternatives. Writing is comprehensible but contains errors (e.g., grammar, punctuation, sentence structure and word choices).
1 – 2    Maximum for answers that depart from the original ideas to the extent that the paraphrase is inaccurate and/or borrows liberally from original wording, sentence structure and organization.

1.    Paraphrase the following:
SpitlerH.D. (2001). Medical Sociology and Public Health: Problems and prospects for collaboration in the new millennium. Sociological Spectrum, 21(3), 247-263.

“According to Levinson (1998) and others, public health has continued to concentrate on changing the individual behaviors and exposures to pathology rather than targeting the conditions influencing those behaviors and exposures. These individualistic approaches are ’’safer’’ than structural approaches because they do not require the modification of the social structure or existing political, economic, or cultural structures or processes.”

2.    Paraphrase the following:
Source: ChattopadhyayS.K., &V.G. CarandeKulis. (2004). Economics of prevention: the public health research agenda. Journal of Public Health Management and Practice, 10(5), 467-471.
“Unlike the market for apples and oranges, consumption of prevention activities may not render immediate satisfaction to consumers. From the economic perspective, demand for preventive services is more likely to follow the health capital investment model originally developed by Grossman. Prevention is assumed to improve the stock of health relative to what it would be in its absence. This improvement is anticipated to enable people to reap increased economic returns from production and consumption activities over a longer period of time.”
