iRubric: Mental Health Shark Tank Project rubric

he description is brief, superficial, or incomplete. It lacks specific data on prevalence and does not clearly define the disorder's key characteristics. The information provided is basic and primarily relies on a single source.

The description covers the required historical points (prevalence, other forms, category) but presents the information as a disconnected list of facts. It defines the disorder clearly, but the context (how it affects people, how it's viewed) is underdeveloped, showing a limited synthesis of research.

The description provides a well-organized, nuanced, and detailed overview of the mental illness. It synthesizes prevalence data and historical context to thoroughly define the disorder. The description clearly establishes the scope and severity of the problem, setting a strong foundation for why the proposed solution is needed.

You don't explain why the mental health problem happens, or your explanation is very short and mostly wrong. You only mention one cause, or the causes you list are confusing.

You list the main reasons why the problem happens (like family history, life events, and brain chemistry). However, you just list them; you don't explain how they work together to affect a person.

You provide a clear and complete explanation of why the problem happens. You show the connections between the different reasons (like how stress from school can affect a person who already has a family risk). You make it easy to understand the complex picture of the disorder's causes.

he presentation has no graphics or pictures, OR the images used are blurry, hard to see, or not related to the topic. The team does not clearly say where the information came from (no citations/resources).

The presentation uses a few clear pictures (2-3) related to the mental illness or the product. The evidence supports the facts, but the visuals are not very exciting or persuasive. Resources are listed, but they may be incomplete or hard to find.

The presentation includes several high-quality, relevant visuals (4+ total). The pictures and graphs are well-placed to make the facts easy to understand and the pitch more persuasive (e.g., a graph showing why their product is needed). All sources are clearly listed and easy to find.
