Analysis of distracted driving on an obstacle course

Make observations about texting while driving. Conduct research on its impact on driving ability; then write a review of literature. Create an obstacle course to navigate with a scooter replete with the kind of obstacles a driver would face. Navigate the course with and without texting and score your performance. Analyze and make recommendations about the results of your findings. Your research, citation, review of literature, citations, and works cited page must be thorough and in APA format.

A. Observations Number of people who text and drive, and thoughts on why people don't stop.	Missing None given	Approaching Expectations Obvious, lacks critical thinking, and insufficient in number (<5)	Meets Expectations Between 5 and 7 observations, shows some critical thinking.	Exceeds Expectations More than 7 observations showing rigorous thought and reflection.
B. Reaction Time experiment Conduct the study in class, gather data, and discuss findings	Missing Not done	Approaching Expectations n/a	Meets Expectations n/a	Exceeds Expectations Student participated and gathered data to demonstrate the difference in reaction time as a result of a card sort activity.
C. Big 4 analysis Big Four Kinematics equations	Missing None given.	Approaching Expectations Two or fewer of the Big 4 equations included in final reflection. Explanation of their application is lacking.	Meets Expectations Incomplete list of big four physics equations included in final reflection along with partially correct explanation of their application.	Exceeds Expectations List of big four physics equations included in final reflection along with correct explanation of their application.
D. Literature Review Selection of articles RST.11-12.7	Missing Literature review includes no articles containing relevant data-driven evidence on the topic.	Approaching Expectations Literature review includes 1-2 articles containing relevant data-driven evidence on the topic.	Meets Expectations Literature review includes 3 articles containing relevant data-driven evidence on the topic.	Exceeds Expectations Literature review includes 4 articles containing relevant data-driven evidence on the topic.
E. Literature Review: Content Content RST.11-12.1, RST.11-12.2 NJSLSA.W8	Missing No in-text citations. Sources have not been referenced throughout the literature review. No information gathered.	Approaching Expectations In-text citations are used minimally or incorrectly to references sources in the literature review. Information is not well-organized. Further research is required.	Meets Expectations In-text citations are used to reference sources throughout the literature review using APA style with minimal errors. Information is organized correctly. Gathered information integrates relevant and sufficient information.	Exceeds Expectations Consistently provides correct source acknowledgement using APA style in-text citations throughout literature review. Information is well organized. Gathered information integrates relevant and abundant information.
F. Analysis of literature Analysis of readings RST.11-12.6 RST.11-12.9 NJSLSA.W2	Missing No review of literature provided.	Approaching Expectations Demonstrates limited understanding of the current knowledge or future implications on the topic.	Meets Expectations Provides a summary of current knowledge on the topic, what has been done and what needs to be discovered.	Exceeds Expectations Student has demonstrated a high level of understanding of the meaning of the material by correctly elaborating, extending and explaining information and incorporating it into their topic study.
G. Obstacle Course Ideas: obstacles, scoring methods, realistic	Missing Student did not contribute ideas pursuant to the specifications needed for the design of the obstacle course.	Approaching Expectations Student contributed 1 - 3 appropriate ideas pursuant to the specifications needed for the design of the obstacle course.	Meets Expectations Student contributed 4 - 5 substantive ideas pursuant to the specifications needed for the design of the obstacle course.	Exceeds Expectations Student contributed > 5 substantive ideas pursuant to the specifications needed for the design of the obstacle course.
H. Data capture: participation	Missing Student did not participate with her team on the day the Obstacle Course testing was conducted.	Approaching Expectations Student helped her team on the day the Obstacle Course testing was conducted, but to a minimal extent.	Meets Expectations Student navigated the obstacle course, assisted in set up and showed some enthusiasm.	Exceeds Expectations Student navigated the obstacle course enthusiastically and with a desire to see the application of distraction caused by cell phone texting. Full participation and encouragement to team.
I. Application & Analysis	Missing Student did not analyze data, nor was there an attempt to apply understanding.	Approaching Expectations Student analyzed data statistically by determining the mean performance. Analysis of the results was brief, and showed little insight.	Meets Expectations Student analyzed data presenting both mean and standard deviation. Explanations were reflective. More details are necessary.	Exceeds Expectations Student analyzed data including mean, standard deviation, and correlation coefficient. Explanations showed insight and reflection.
J. Punctuality (1/2)	Missing Project was turned in more than two days after due date.	Approaching Expectations Project was turned in more thane to two days after due date.	Meets Expectations Project was turned in at the end of the day on the due date.	Exceeds Expectations Project was turned in at the during class day on the due date.
K. Debriefing (1/2)	Missing Debriefing comments were not submitted.	Approaching Expectations Minimal effort was made to reflect on the entire project.	Meets Expectations Substantive and insightful reflections, however no recommendations for improvement were given.	Exceeds Expectations Substantive and insightful reflections were made, creative recommendations for improvement were given.
