Abstract
Unsatisfactory
Abstract is missing.

Good

Exemplary

Introduction
Unsatisfactory
Introduction is not organized into paragraphs with introductory sentences, details or concluding sentences. Thesis statement is missing. Major points are not addressed or not well supported. There are significant formatting errors. Statements of fact are not supported by citations.
Average
Introduction provides an adequate introduction to the topic. Most of the content discussed is relevant. Each paragraph begins with a topic sentence, with at least one piece of supporting evidence, and a concluding sentence. Paragraphs may not be well organized, or flow logically from one to the next. Transitions are not smooth. Not all statements of fact are supported by citations.
Good
The reader is introduced to the topic. The thesis is clearly stated. Information is organized in well-constructed paragraphs. Each paragraph has an introductory sentence, summarizes at least two pieces of supporting evidence, and ends with a clear concluding sentence. Paragraphs are relatively concise, although some off-topic points may be included. Major points may need to be stated more clearly or be better supported. All statements of fact are supported with appropriate citations.
Exemplary
The importance of the paper is clearly laid out. A clear and succinct review of relevant existing literature is provided. Paragraphs are very well organized and include clear topic sentences, several pieces of supporting information, and a conclusion. Each sentence flows logically from the previous one. Transitions are smooth. The experiments are early introduced. All statements of fact are supported with appropriate citations.
Method
Unsatisfactory
Methods are not adequately described. A person interested in replicating the study would have a very hard time discerning what procedures were used. There are many formatting errors.
Average
Methods section includes appropriate sub-sections for the experiments described. May be missing some relevant information, or contain irrelevant details. Formatting is generally acceptable, although some errors may exit.
Good
All appropriate sub-sections are included, and each provides a sufficient level of detail. A person interested in replicating the study could do so with relatively ease, although some critical details may be omitted. Conversely, too much detail may be provided in places. There are relatively few formatting errors.
Exemplary
Study methods are clearly laid out and very well organized. Equipment and other materials are described in adequate detail. Citations are included where appropriate. Every piece of information needed to replicate the study is included, but there are no superfluous details reported. No formatting errors exist.
Results
Unsatisfactory
Inappropriate statistical analyses were run. Reporting of results does not comply with APA guidelines. Relevant findings are missing or incorrectly interpreted.
Average
The statistical analyses are appropriate, for the most part. Relevant descriptive and inferential statistics are reported, although there may be missing values or errors in APA formatting. Tables/figures may not be referenced or are referenced incorrectly.
Good
Data are analyzed appropriately using the correct statistical tests. All of the relevant descriptive and inferential statistics are reported. Findings are clearly summarized in plain English. Few errors in APA style formatting of results. Tables/figures are correctly referenced where appropriate.
Exemplary
Data are analyzed appropriately, and all relevant descriptive and inferential statistics are reported in a clear, easy to follow way in error-free APA style. Findings are succinctly summarized in plain English. Results are very easy to comprehend, and tables/figures are refereed to when appropriate.
Discussion
Unsatisfactory
Information is not well organized. Main findings may not be summarized, interpreted, or linked back to original hypotheses. Future directions are not well flushed-out. Statements of fact are not supported with citations.
Average
Main findings are summarized. Some attempt is made to link the results to the original hypotheses/introduction, although this relationship may not be logical or fully comprehensible. There may be some statements of fact not supported by citations. Superficial future directions are provided.
Good
Main findings are summarized and clearly tied back to the introduction and primary hypothesis. Statements of fact are supported with appropriate supporting citations. Paragraphs are well organized and flow logically from one to the next. Results are discussed in the context of the broader literature, and thoughtful future directions are proposed.
Exemplary
Accomplishes everything outlined under "Satisfactory" requirements. Additionally, provides exceptional and thought provoking analysis of the findings and places them in the context of the broader literature on this topic. Provides well reasoned and empirically supported suggestions for future directions.
