iRubric: Protein Synthesis rubric

Many components involved in protein synthesis are missing from the model or mis-named during the presentation. No understanding of the process or its components evident.

One or two components involved in protein synthesis are missing from the model or mis-named during the presentation. If the component moves in the process, it sometimes is movable in the model. The presentation of the model demonstrated a weak understanding of the process and its components. Hints are needed to elicit some correct answers about the processes occurring.

All components are present in the model and correctly named during the presentation. If the component moves in the process, it also is movable in the model. The presentation of the model demonstrated a solid understanding of the process and its components. Most questions are answered correctly but some hints are needed to elicit some correct answers about the processes occurring.

All components are present in the model and correctly named during the presentation. If the component moves in the process, it also is movable in the model. The presentation of the model demonstrated complete understanding of the process and its components, extra effort for clarity and detail are present, any questions are easily answered correctly without hints about the processes occurring.

Codon-anticodon combinations are not understood or missing. No understanding of the process or its components evident.

Only one or two codon-anticodon combination is shown correctly. The presentation of this portion of the process demonstrated a weak understanding of the process and its components. Hints are needed to elicit some correct answers.

Three codon-anticodon combinations are shown correctly. The presentation of this portion of the process demonstrated a solid understanding of the process and its components. Most questions are answered correctly but some hints are needed to elicit some correct answers.

Three or more codon-anticodon combinations are shown correctly with an extra effort for clarity and detail. The presentation of this portion of the process demonstrated complete understanding of the process and its components, extra effort for clarity and detail are present, any questions are easily answered correctly without hints.

Two or more of the codes shown (DNA-mRNA), (mRNA-tRNA), (mRNA translated to amino acid sequence) are incorrect

One of the codes shown is incorrect. Presenter is able to derive one or two novel codes upon questioning (codon to amino acid chart or table will be provided).

All codes are accurate
Presenter is able to derive most novel codes upon questioning (codon to amino acid chart or table will be provided).

All codes are accurate but drawing/model represented with extra clarity and detail
Presenter is able to derive any novel codes upon questioning (codon to amino acid chart or table will be provided).
