OR
The background provided fails to provide support to this topic/question or is irrelevent to student's lives.
|
Good
The topic/question selected is clearly stated and is appropriate for an observational study. The background provided gives adequate motivation for the group's choice of this topic/question and is somewhat relevent to student's lives.
|
Excellent
The topice/question selected is clearly stated and is appropriate for an observational study. The background provided gives strong motivation for the group's choice of this topic/questions and its relevence to student's lives.

Methodolgy-Randomization
|
Not Acceptable
The randomization is flawed in all three area - labeling, number selection , and results
OR
Method is missing from report.
|
Poor
There is some flaw in the randomization procedure itself. Some aspect of the randomization-labeling, number selction, or results is completely correct.
|
Fair
The randomization process includes all three components listed at the right but the randomization process does not match the chosen sampling procedure.
OR
The randomization process matches the chosen sampling procedure, but the clarity of communication would prevent easy replication of this randomization, in spite of it being correctly designed and implemented.
|
Good
The randomization process includes all three components listed at the right. However, clarity of communication would prevent easy replication of thei randomization. The randomization process matches the chosen sampling procedure.
|
Excellent
The randomization process includes a clear and correct labeling of subjects, a description of the number selection process (random number table or calculator), and the results of the randomization (i.e. the numbers and subjects chosen). In addition the randomization process matches the chosen sampling procedure.

OR
Original data are available for review, but there is a major flaw in the presentation of the data (but not in the accuracy of the tally).
|
Good

|
Excellent
Original data are available for review and are summarized in an appropriate table form. Tables are neat, clearly labeled and accurate.
|
Graphical and Numberical Summaries
|
Not Acceptable
Neither the graphical nor the numberical summaries are appropriate.
|
Poor
Data has been correctly summarized graphically or numberically but not both.
Or
One of the data summaries is inappropriate.
|
Fair
Data has been correctly summarized either graphically or numberically but there is a major error in one of the components.
|
Good
Data has been correctly summarized using bar graphs/pie charts and counts/proportions/ percentages, but has made a minor error in either computation or graphing.
|
Excellent
Data has been correctly summarized using bar graphs/pie charts and counts/proportions/
percentages. Graphs are accurate, labeled appropriately and neat
|
Interpretation of Data
|
Not Acceptable
Interpretations and generalizations are missing.
|
Poor
Interpretations are attempted but are inadequate. Generalizations concerning the population of interest are omitted.
|
Fair
Interpretations of the graphical and numberical summaries have serious errors/omissions. In addition, an attempt is made at addressing generalization concerning the population of interest.
|
Good
Interpretations of the graphical and numberical summaries have minor errors or omissions. In addition some generalizations concerning the population of interst are identify.
|
Excellent
Interpretations of the graphical and numerical summaries are thorough and accurate. In addition, generalizations concerning the population of interest are identified.
