RUBRICA Posted on: Tuesday, April 26, 2016 8:12:21 PM PDT Rubric Review Research Paper and Seminar. Written Report Rubric Focus of the rubric assessment will be on: “ABET Outcomes” (g) An ability to communicate effectively (c) An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability. Abstract Introduction System design Subsystem design Modeling and analysis Performance, predictions, prototype experiment Risk assessment Summary, recommendations and lessons learned Appendices. -Score writing ability -Score design Meet needs Meet constraints Sample Technical Report Rubric Criteria Distinguished Proficient Abstract Proper length, clear, concise summary of material that includes key details. The relevance and importance of the report is made clear. Intended audience is clear from the content; organization of the report is conveyed in a readable manner. Proper length and clarity, provides a clear summary of the material to follow. Word limit not exceeded, communicates some details but may be unclear. May not fall under word limit. Fails to communicate the important details. Some relevance and importance is conveyed, but this may be slightly unclear, or lacking in insight or originality Report organization is conveyed but in a somewhat rote manner. All elements of report content are present, but Relevance may be unclear due to vague terms. Not insightful or original Provides little on the report organization. Little or no reference to the topic or its relevance; audience unclear. All elements of report content are present, but One or more of the key report Introduction Content (System Design) Robust content containing clear, referenced Basic Unacceptable Organization Tone for an engineering report Sentence Structure description of data acquisition methods, data sets and their analysis. Equations are clearly presented and necessary Results significant and (including discussion of uncertainty) insightful and referenced substantiated discussion. Ideas, methods, data and results are presented logically. Paragraphs have solid topic sentences. Transitions link paragraphs and sections. It is easy to follow the line reasoning. Subheadings are used throughout the paper allowing the reader to reader moves easily through the text. Consistently professional and appropriate. Sentences are wellphrased and varied in length and type. They flow smoothly from one to another with no run on sentences or comma splices. some are less developed. Equations are clearly presented and necessary Some aspects of the data and analysis may be less clear Some discussion is engaging some is not. The ideas are arranged logically to support the central purpose. Transitions usually link paragraphs. For the most part, the reader can follow the line of reasoning. Subheadings are used throughout the paper to guide the reader without undue confusion. Generally professional and appropriate, with occasional lapses. Sentences are correct with minor variety in length and structure. The flow from sentence to sentence is generally smooth although some run on sentences are present. one or more are poorlydeveloped. Some equations are either missing or not necessary; formatting has minor inconsistencies. Data, analysis, and results sections are reasonably complete but presented in less than insightful manner. In general, ideas are arranged logically, but sometimes ideas fail to make sense together. The reader is fairly clear about what writer intends. While subheadings are used, the content beneath them does not follow. Many paragraphs without topic sentences. elements is/are missing. Data are incompletely presented and analytical techniques are unclear. Discussion is nonengaging and straightforward. Some professional or appropriate aspects but generally unprofessional. Some sentences are awkwardly constructed so that the reader is occasionally distracted. Multiple run-on sentences are present Sentence structure is monotonous. Not professional or appropriate. Ideas are not logically organized. Frequently, ideas fail to make sense together. The reader cannot identify a line of reasoning. Subheadings not used. Few or no topic sentences. Errors in sentence structure are frequent enough to be a major distraction to the reader. Run on sentences and fragments are common. Word Choice Word choice is consistently precise and accurate. The writer uses the active voice as much as possible. Word choice is generally good, with occasional lapses to the passive voice. Unnecessary words are occasionally used. Word choice is merely adequate, and the range of words is limited. Some words are used Inappropriately or unnecessarily. Grammar, Spelling, Writing Mechanics The writing is nearly error-free. There are occasional errors, but no major distraction or obscure meaning. Several grammatical errors, to the point that reader is distracted by them. Conclusion The writer makes succinct and precise conclusions based on the review of literature. Suggestions for future work offered. In-depth research demonstrated. References are primarily peer reviewed professional journals or other approved sources such as agency reports and textbooks. Some of the conclusions, however, are not supported. Suggestions for future work offered. Some of the conclusions, however, are not supported Weak or trite suggestions for future work. Several relevant secondary sources, revealing adequate research. Although most of the references are professionally legitimate, a few are questionable (e.g., trade books, internet sources, popular magazines). Displays minimal effort in selecting quality sources. Many of the references are from sources that are not peer reviewed. Several relevant secondary sources. Some facts not referenced. Approved format is used with minor errors. Some formatting problems exists. There are multiple errors formatting, and one or more missing citations or references in the bibliography which are not cited in the text. Reference Quality Citation Format Approved format is used correctly and consistently in the paper and on the reference section. Many words are used inappropriately, confusing the reader. It is difficult for the reader to understand what the writer is trying to express. Pattern of ungrammatical writing, with sufficient errors that meaning is obscured. There is little or no indication that the writer tried to synthesize the information or draw conclusions based on the literature No suggestions for future work. There are virtually no sources that are professionally reliable. Overreliance on tertiary sources; spotty documentation of facts in text. Format of the document is unrecognizable as an approved format, and numerous missing references or errors. == DYNAMICS == CONTENTS (with direct page links) 12. Kinematics of a Particle 13.
