Final Report
	Weak 2 pts	Average 4 pts	Strong 6 pts	Missing 0 pts
Content and Formatting 1 pts	Weak Not all sections are included. Does not follow IEEE formatting (especially for figures). May or may not have page numbers. No title page	Average Missing only 1 section no necessary to duplicate the product development. Some errors with IEEE formatting (especially for figures). Has page numbers. Weird spacing/formatting of images. Has title page.	Strong Heading, title, content, IEEE formatting, spacing, images and everything flows easily for the reader. Includes a table of contents, a table of figures and a table of tables (if there are more than 3 tables).	Missing
Spelling and Grammar 1 pts	Weak Several spelling and grammatical errors. Pronouns are used in excess.	Average One or two spelling and/or grammatical errors. One or two pronouns are used where not necessary or not as appropriate.	Strong No spelling and/or grammatical errors.	Missing
Abstract 0.5 pts	Weak Abstract follows general IEEE guide lines, however there are still questions AND something is missing.	Average Abstract follows general IEEE guide lines, however there are still questions OR something is missing.	Strong Abstract follows general IEEE guide lines perfectly with all questions being answered and summarizes the project perfectly.	Missing
Introduction 1 pts	Weak Introduction follows the guild lines, however there are still questions AND something is missing.	Average Introduction follows the guild lines, however there are still questions OR something is missing. Format is off	Strong Introduction follows the guild lines perfectly and properly introduces the reader to the project.	Missing
Problem 0.5 pts	Weak No clear explanation or identification of the pain/need that's being met for a client.	Average An appropriate description of the pain or need that is being met for the client. However, no "value proposition" explained and the reader is still unsure of what problem(s) is being solved.	Strong A well-written, correctly identified client pain/need that is being met. A well-defined 'value proposition'.	Missing
Solution 0.5 pts	Weak Some of the solution idea is communicated well, while some sections need more development Reader had many questions after reading. No visual representation of the solution. No equations or theory to explain the reasoning behind the solution	Average The solution breakdown is explained to a minimal degree, just enough for one to get the main idea but not enough to know some of the reasoning or the process/steps involved. Some unclear visual representation (skips too many steps or has too much detail). Questions were still had.	Strong Well-written complete description of the solution so the reader can almost go step by step to duplicate the solution creation process at least Includes at least 2 theoretical equations and explanations where applicable.	Missing
Implementation 1 pts Schematics, Simulations, PC Board Layout	Weak Provides schematics, simulations (if any) and pc board layouts No explanation on what the schematics, simulations or pc board layout(s) mean or refer to in the block diagrams in previous sections.	Average Provides schematics, simulations (if any) and pc board layouts Explains some sections and meaning behind the schematic, simulation and pc board layout sections.	Strong A well-written, testable statement, referring to the dependent variable. Enough explanation of the schematics, simulations and pc board layouts so the reader knows exactly how and why this section corroborates previous sections in the report.	Missing
Testing Procedures 0.5 pts Make the descriptions short. You can even use bulleted lists or diagrams.	Weak Proposed testing procedures are not nicely formatted. They are hard to understand, which leads to the experiment being difficult to replicate, if at all possible.	Average Testing procedures are nicely formatted. They are a little hard to understand, which leads to the experiment being harder to replicate.	Strong Testing procedures are well-written and nicely formatted. They are very easy to understand, which leads to the experiment being able to be replicated quite easily.	Missing
Results 0.5 pts	Weak Experimental data is present, but not in proper format. Student does not set up graphs/tables accurately and does not represent the most important parameters appropriately.	Average	Strong Experimental data is present, either in graph, table, etc format. Data is accurately displayed and leaves no questions as to what is what.	Missing
Analysis 2 pts	Weak Student simply stated their results with no explanation. Did not say if their goals and objectives were met.	Average Using paragraphs, the student conveyed their data results, however, there were a few questions. Stated if the objectives/goals were met but not to what accuracy. Does not explain reasons for discrepancies from expected results.	Strong Using well-written paragraphs, the student was able to convey their data results in a very clear and concise manner. They also stated if their results met their objectives or not and most importantly, how and why and to what percentage error where appropriate.	Missing
Conclusion 0.5 pts	Weak Student simply summarized their project, but did not emphasize anything in regards to their hypothesis.	Average In simple paragraph, the student was able to summarize their entire project, making sure to restate whether or not their hypothesis was supported, and how the data did this.	Strong In a well-written paragraph, the student was able to summarize their entire project, making sure to restate whether or not their hypothesis was supported, and how the data did this.	Missing
References/Bibliography 1 pts	Weak Bibliography is present but not in IEEE format	Average Bibliography is present and in IEEE format but there are only up to 1 citations in the actual report	Strong Bibliography is present, in IEEE format and there are at least 2 references and appropriate citations in the report.	Missing
Overall Organization 0.5 pts	Weak Formatting is awkwardly placed and does not follow IEEE report writing standards, like figures labeled below, tables labeled on top, no numbered pages, difficult to see images, etc.	Average Follows IEEE format for reports, but reader still has difficulties understanding or navigationg the report, caused by strange formatting issues.	Strong Follows IEEE format and all information is clearly presented and easy for the reader to understand and navigate through the report.	Missing
