Independent Study
	Mastery 5 pts	Proficient 4 pts	Needs Further Direction 3 pts
Content Identification >Identify your probe or software >Describe the "physics" behind how it works (think about the concepts covered in 2nd-semester Physics related to energy) >Include relevant information about units of measurement, calibration, maintenance, etc..	Mastery The paper includes all information relevant to the topic in an organized fashion.	Proficient The paper includes most relevant information; the information is organized.	Needs Further Direction The paper is lacking in elements required. There are many gaps in information presented.
Quality of Work The point here is that the effort put into this project reflects the effort you would have put into preparing for a traditional "written" semester final.	Mastery The work done exceeds all expectations. The effort put into this task is the best it can be by the learner.	Proficient Work is done with good effort that shows the capability of the learner. It is evident that time was put into this project.	Needs Further Direction Work is done with little effort, shows lack of quality, and may be incomplete. It is evident little time was spent on the final product.
Visual Aesthetics Include appropriate graphics to help "show" what you are attempting to "tell" future science students about your selected probe or software.	Mastery The PDF has an element of creativity and style. Information is presented in a clear manner with full understanding of the subject.	Proficient The PDF is clear and logical and contains facts with very few mistakes. Information is clear with fair understanding of the subject.	Needs Further Direction The PDF does not reveal a clear understanding of the subject matter and there are many errors. It lacks neatness and clarity.
Presentation of Information as PDF The expectations here are that you have created a first draft that was reviewed by either a senior or junior and Dr. Larson; then, after making edits based on the feedback was saved as a publishable PDF for use in HS laboratory work at St. Mary's.	Mastery The final PDF presents the information clearly for the intended audience, which means it is written in student-friendly format/language, is accurate and complete, and displays a deep understanding of the underlying physics concepts. Few or no errors in conventions	Proficient The final PDF presents the information clearly for the intended audience, which means it is written in student-friendly format/language, is accurate and complete, and displays an acceptable understanding of the underlying physics concepts. Minimal errors - errors do not impact communication	Needs Further Direction Not enough preparation was done for the presentation of the information. It, therefore, lacks the expected elements. Many errors that may interfere with communication
