Study Study Study Study
●
Study is of professional quality
●
Process has been thoroughly documented as the
study progressed
●
Population is clearly identified and sample size is
large enough so there is little possibility of error.
●
The study is completely objective with no possible
observer bias
●
Product is completed ahead of the time frame
●
Product is of high quality
●
Process has been well-documented
●
Population is identified and the sample size is
adequate but not enough to draw an absolute
conclusion
●
Study is mostly objective and there might be a
chance of observer bias
●
Product is completed within the time frame
●
Study is of average quality
●
Process is only partially documented
●
Population is vague and sample size is minimal
and leaves study open to error
●
Study includes observer bias but that bias does not
completely invalidate the study
●
Product is late, did not meet the time frame
●
Study is of poor quality or not present
●
Process is not documented
●
Population is not identified and sample size is so
inadequate that no conclusion can be drawn
●
Study includes too much observer bias to allow
for a valid conclusion to be drawn
●
Product is not completed

●
Study has a clearly defined quantifiable and
provable hypothesis.
●
The methodology is creative and every step is
clearly presented so that anyone could accurately
recreate the study
●
The most appropriate graph has been used to
represent data. All graphs are appropriately titled,
have x and y axis appropriately labels, and legends
or keys are clearly labeled. The graphs meet
professional academic standards.
●
The study has a clear conclusion that answers the
hypothesis categorically using the data collected.
●
The study addresses any experimental error, discuss
the effects the error may have on the results and
suggests a methodology that would not have that
experimental error.
●
Powerpoint is well organized, professional, covers
all aspects of the study, displays necessary data
tables. It has no spelling, punctuation or grammar
errors.
●
Hypothesis is provable and quantifiable.
●
Methodology is appropriate and adequate to prove
the hypothesis
●
Graph used is a appropriate of the data. All graphs
are titled, have x and y axis appropriately labels,
and legends or keys are clearly labeled.

The study has a conclusion that answers the
hypothesis using the data collected.

discuss the effects the error may have on the
results.

Powerpoint is organized, professional, covers all
aspects of the study, displays necessary data tables.
It has few spelling, punctuation or grammar errors.
●
Hypothesis is vague and quantifiably difficult to
prove

leaves the conclusion open to doubt
●
The graph used to represent the data may not be
the appropriate graph and/or may not be properly
labeled.
●
Minimal reflection on the entire process

any conclusions or cannot defend their
conclusions with fact
