Rubric for the Math 201 Project

You will receive the following grade if your project is as described:

High "A":  The project goes above an beyond what was asked of you.  You have clearly and accurately addressed each of the bulleted points described in the project instructions and have also included additional statistical analyses relating to the topic.  Your paper contains no errors (both grammatical and interpretive).  The paper clearly demonstrates your mastery of all of the statistical concepts related to the project.  All relevant computer charts and readouts are included in the paper.  The paper is well written and includes an introduction and conclusion.

Low "A":  You have clearly and accurately addressed each of the bulleted points described in the project instructions.  You paper contains few errors (both grammatical and interpretive) with the errors all minor.  The paper clearly demonstrates that you understand all of the statistical concepts related to the project.  All relevant computer charts and readouts are included in the paper.  The paper is well written and includes an introduction and conclusion.

High "B":  You have clearly and accurately addressed each of the bulleted points described in the project instructions.  Your paper contains few errors (both grammatical and interpretive) with at most one moderate error.  The paper clearly demonstrates that you understand most of the statistical concepts related to the project.  Most relevant computer charts and readouts are included in the paper.  The paper includes an introduction and conclusion, but proofreading the paper would have helped make it more readable.

Low "B":  You have clearly and accurately addressed most of the bulleted points described in the project instructions.  Your paper contains some errors (both grammatical and interpretive) including some moderate errors.  The paper clearly demonstrates that you understand most of the statistical concepts related to the project, but also shows that your are confused about (or have left out) one of two of the key concepts.  Most relevant computer charts and readouts are included in the paper.  The paper may be in need of better organization.

High "C":  You have a muddled idea of the bulleted points described in the project instructions and have left out a few of them.  Your paper contains many errors (both grammatical and interpretive) including at least one major error.  The paper clearly demonstrates that your are confused about (or have left out) at least two of the key concepts.  Some of the relevant charts and readouts may be left out and interpretations may be missing.  The paper is in need of better organization.

Low "C":  You have a muddled idea of the bulleted points described in the project instructions and have left out a few of them.  Your paper contains many errors (both grammatical and interpretive) including at least one major error.  The paper clearly demonstrates that your are confused about (or have left out) many of the key concepts.  Some of the relevant charts and readouts may be left out and interpretations may be missing.  The paper looks like you were in too much of a hurry to explain your research and read the bulleted list if items to be included.

Below a "C":  You have clearly demonstrated that you do not understand the concepts learned in class.  You probably made no real effort to address all of the items in the list.  You need to think about spending much more time working on future projects and get help from your instructor or your tutor.
