Clifford (0.25 / 0.25) Title Page Distinguished - Provides a title page that includes the title of the report, course name, student's name, instructor, and date submitted. (1.1 / 1.25) Introduction Proficient - Includes an introduction in a minimum of three paragraphs that discusses the background into the topic supported by scholarly sources, an objective of the study, and a hypothesis for the experiment along with an explanation of how the student arrived at that hypothesis. Minimal improvement is needed through additional detail, improvement of source material, and/or rewording of hypotheses. (0.95 / 1.25) Materials and Methods Basic - Partially describes the materials and methods section. Relevant details are missing that limits the repeatability of the experiment, and/or excessive information is present. Very detailed methods section here. This is certainly an excellent beginning; however, your outline actually provides too much detail. You only need to provide vital steps that summarize how you conducted the experiment. For instance, when calculating pH, you do not need to include steps such as "dip the pH test strip in the water, then shake the test strips." These steps can be simplified to read "we used pH test strips to measure water pH" as such testing strips will come with instructions. If you have any questions about this, feel free to email me directly or post your concerns in the Ask Your Instructor section of the course. (1.1 / 1.25) Results Proficient - Includes a results section that addresses all of the tables utilized in the laboratory as well as at least one paragraph objectively explaining the data. Minor errors are seen in the data tables, or details are missing in the data explanation. (0.8 / 1.25) Discussion Below Expectations - Includes a discussion section; however, does not explain one or more of the required components. Many improvements are needed through additional detail, inclusion of source material, and correction of significant errors. (0.57 / 0.75) Conclusion Basic - Includes a conclusion section that summarizes all facets of your experiment. Moderate improvement is needed to accurately summarize the report. (1 / 1) Submits Grammarly Report Distinguished - Submits screen shot of the Grammarly report as required. (0.44 / 0.5) Written Communication: Control of Syntax and Mechanics Proficient - Displays comprehension and organization of syntax and mechanics, such as spelling and grammar.
