Working a Physics Problem Enter rubric description
	Poor 0 pts	Fair 0.5 pts	Good 1 pts
Legible & in pencil 10 % problem should be written in readable handwriting and orderly.	Poor lacks logical order<BR> handwriting not readable<BR> not in pencil	Fair mostly readable<BR> some steps skipped<BR> failry orderly<BR> not worked in pencil	Good pencil used.<BR> Free body diagram, clearly labeled.<BR> x- and y- directions and calculations clearly separated.
FBD & Write the givens or knowns 10 % List anything known in the problem with applicable and variable label	Poor less than 1/2 of the variables were identified correctly<BR> fbd has errors	Fair at least 1/2 of the variables were identified correctly<BR> fbd min. errors	Good all of the variables were identified correctly<BR> fbd fully correct
Write the unknowns 10 % What are we looking for? <BR> What information do we need to find what we are looking for?<BR> Write with units and label with variable.	Poor Less than 1/2 of the unknown variables were identified correctly	Fair at least 1/2 of the unknown variables were identified correctly	Good all of the unknown variables were identified correctly
Write any base formulas 10 % Any formulas, with variables only (NO NUMBERS)	Poor no formulas present	Fair at least 1/2 of the needed formulas are identified correctly	Good all of the necessary formulas are identified correctly
