8642
Metric: Scientific communication/using data
Provided clear, effective explanations; used data and mathematical models from multiple laboratory experiences to support position, raised new questions or generated new contexts, disagreements with the position taken were resolved when appropriate. Provided a clear explanation; effectively used data from a laboratory exerience to support position, or used examples of predictive mathematical models, equations, in the natural physical world. Provided an incomplete explanation; attempted to cite data in support of position but was incomplete, cursory, unsupportive, or otherwise unclear. Provided an explanation that could not be well understood; inappropriate use of data to support position, or position unclear, self-contradictory, muddled, or used random examples of the enumerability of the natural world lacking a connection to predictive mathematical models
Metric: Scientific concepts and related content
Precisely and appropriately used scientific terminology; provided evidence of in-depth, sophisticated understanding of relevant mathematical models, scientific concepts, principles or theories; revised prior misconceptions when appropriate; compelling evidence of understanding of the underlying concepts in the question, went beyond the question to make other connections or extend thinking. Appropriately used scientific terminology; provided evidence of understanding of relevant mathematical models, scientific concepts, principles or theories; evidence of understanding of the underlying concepts in the question. Some relevant scientific terminology; minimal reference to relevant mathematical models, scientific concepts, principles or theories; some evidence of understanding of the underlying concepts in the question. Inappropriate use of scientific terminology; inappropriate references to random number facts, scientific concepts, principles or theories, no evidence of understanding of the underlying concepts in the question.
Grammar / Syntax
5No errors of grammar or word order.
4Some errors of grammar or word order but communication not impaired.
3Errors of grammar or word order fairly frequent; occasional re-reading necessary for full comprehension.
2Errors of grammar or word order frequent; efforts of interpretation sometimes required on reader's part.
1Errors of grammar or word order very frequent; reader often has to rely on own interpretation.
0 Errors of grammar or word order so severe as to make comprehension virtually impossible.
Vocabulary
5Appropriate terms used consistently, clear command of vocabulary, no misspelled words.
4Occasionally uses inappropriate terms or relies on circumlocution; expression of ideas not impaired; or a few misspelled words.
3Uses wrong or inappropriate words fairly frequently; expression of ideas may be limited because of inadequate vocabulary.
2Limited vocabulary and frequent errors clearly hinder expression of ideas.
1Vocabulary so limited and so frequently misused that reader must often rely on own interpretation.
0 Vocabulary limitations so extreme as to make comprehension virtually impossible.
Organization
5 Material exceptionally well organized and connected including introduction, body, and conclusion structure.
4 Material well organized; structure could occasionally be clearer but communication not impaired.
3Some lack of organization; re-reading required for clarification of ideas. Missing structures such as an introduction or conclusion.
2Little or no attempt at connectivity, though reader can deduce some organization. Missing two or more structures such as the introduction and conclusion.
1Individual ideas may be clear, but very difficult to deduce connection between them.
0 Lack of organization so severe that communication is seriously impaired.
Cohesion
5Consistent choices in cohesive structures. Ideas flow logically within the body and reflect the introduction. Essay remains on topic. Connector words assist the reader.
4Occasional lack of consistency in choice of cohesive structures and vocabulary but overall ease of communication not impaired.
3'Patchy', with some cohesive structures or vocabulary items noticeably inappropriate to general style. Ideas tend to be disconnected from each other. Reads more like an outline than a coherent essay.
2Cohesive structures or vocabulary items sometimes not only inappropriate but also misused; little sense of ease of communication.
1Communication often impaired by completely inappropriate or misused cohesive structures or vocabulary items.
0A 'hodgepodge' of half-learned misused cohesive structures and vocabulary items rendering communication almost impossible.
Handwritten penmanship
5 Exemplary near perfect penmanship, letters on the line, correctly formed letters, even and appropriate spacing between letters and words, legible.
4A few inconsistencies in spacing and letter formation, penmanship is neat.
3Frequent errors in spacing or letter formation, some difficulties in reading due to legibility.
2Substantive, frequent errors in spacing, letter formation. Difficult to read, penmanship problematic but still decipherable.
1 Penmanship errors so fundamental and pervasive as to render the essay almost unreadable and incomprehensible.
0Illegible scrawl.
