Core Concepts of Marketing Review Rubric
Overview
This is a review of Core Concepts of Marketing: https://louis.oercommons.org/courses/core-concepts-of-marketing/view completed by Cassie Ditt, Assistant Professor of Marketing at McNeese State University.
Comprehensiveness
The text covers all areas and ideas of the subject appropriately and provides an effective index and/or glossary.
This OER text was scanned using OCR (optimal character recognition). Unfortunately, and perhaps accordingly, there are countless errors within each and every page. Furthermore, this text has not been updated within the last twelve years. Therefore, the text is not only riddled with what might appear to be typos &/or mistakes, but also, is quite outdated. I imagine this text is available to students in exchange for payment in a much more readable format--one that was not scanned, that does not include countless issues, that is likely much more current (e.g., updated within the last twelve years).

Content is not up-to-date; content is not current. Most, or even all, portions need to be updated now, and again, at least once a year, going forward. (The text is written and/or arranged in such a way that necessary updates will be relatively easy and straightforward to implement.)
Clarity

Technical portions are elaborated upon; however, readability is unideal.

The text is internally consistent in terms of terminology and framework.
Modularity
The text is easily and readily divisible into smaller reading sections that can be assigned at different points within the course (i.e., enormous blocks of text without subheadings should be avoided). The text should not be overly self-referential, and should be easily reorganized and realigned with various subunits of a course without presenting much disruption to the reader.
