ASPECT
Introduction
GOOD 3
Contains a complete and well organized overview statement
FAIR 2
Contains a complete but somewhat disorganized overview statement. Addresses most of the required presentation elements fairly well. Somewhat disorganized and provides too much detail and gives brief explanation of the work.
POOR 1-0
Provides no overview statement or the statement is so short as to be useless. Addresses few of the required presentation elements or does so poorly. Is disorganized and deals completely with details without providing a broad explanation of the work. Some portions of the concepts were not clearly explained and understood. Essentially reads the material from a presentation to make the report, clearly uncomfortable with the topic. Contains no visual aids or they are poorly constructed as to be worthless.
Score
Completeness

No hypothesis
Lacks minor details List or materials complete Control and experimental setups are identified Dependent variable identified but not the independent variable; procedure is not described in detail Date collection complete Tables presented but no charts Analysis of data inadequate but does not affect the accuracy Results interlinked Relates to the hypothesis but conclusion is just implied/recommen dations are appropriate Complete parts, organized, few grammatical and spelling errors
Missing major design components List of materials incomplete Only experimental set-up given; no control set-up Both dependent and independent variables are not identified
Not applicable to the problem The design is wrong and does not help answer the problem Procedure difficult to follow
Conclusion/ Recommendation
Inadequate date collected Raw data presented but no tables nor graphs Analysis of data is inadequate and affect the accuracy Some explanations are inaccurate Conclusion not very clear; too general/recommendat ions are vague and somewhat unrelated to the output/concept With missing parts, organized but with some grammatical and spelling errors Total
