Final Project Rubric

Introduction Methods Findings Study Limitations Conclusions
Excellent
  • Provides robust description of data and context.

  • Well articulated research question(s) correctly phrased for a one-way ANOVA.

  • Outlines variables considered for analysis, describes how variables were collected, including their associated units / levels.

  • Creates data visualizations requested, axis labels allow visualization to be interpreted independent of additional information.

  • Provides robust description of relationships seen in visualization.

  • Correctly fits one-way ANOVA models and obtains ANOVA table.

  • Provides well written conclusion regarding the hypotheses tested in the both one-way ANOVAs, with few if any errors that do not bring into question understanding of the underlying concepts.

  • Correctly determines if an additive two-way ANOVA model should be fit.

  • (If applicable) Provides well written conclusion regarding the hypotheses tested in the two-way ANOVA, with few if any errors that do not bring into question understanding of the underlying concepts.

  • Evaluates conditions of one-way ANOVA model with few if any errors that do not bring into question understanding of the underlying concepts.

  • Clearly articulates sampling methodology used in study, connects methodology to whom the analysis can be inferred onto.

  • Clearly articulates the design of the study, connects study design to what relationships can be inferred between the variables.

  • Interpretations are all described in the context of the data, not in general terms.

  • Provides well articulated description of how the findings from the statistical model(s) connect to what was seen in visualizations.

  • Reaches a conclusion for the research question stated in the Introduction.

Satisfactory
  • Provides satisfactory description of data, but description lacks some details regarding the context.

  • Research question(s) articulated but contain instances of incorrect language for a one-way ANOVA.

  • Outlines variables considered for analysis, omitting some details regarding how the variables were collected and / or their associated units / levels.

  • Creates data visualizations requested, some additional information is needed to supplement axis labels.

  • Provides satisfactory description of relationships seen in visualization, where some details have been omitted.

  • Correctly fits one-way ANOVA models and obtains ANOVA table.

  • Provides well written conclusion regarding the hypotheses tested in the both one-way ANOVAs, with some errors that bring into question understanding of underlying concepts.

  • Correctly determines if an additive two-way ANOVA model should be fit.

  • (If applicable) Provides well written conclusion regarding the hypotheses tested in the two-way ANOVA, with some errors that bring into question understanding of underlying concepts.

  • Evaluates conditions of one-way ANOVA model with some errors that bring into question understanding of underlying concepts.

  • Describes sampling methodology used in study and states whom the analysis can be inferred onto, but connections between methods and inference are at times unclear.

  • Statement regarding what relationships can be inferred between the variables is mostly clear, with connections to the design of the study.

  • Interpretations are all described in the context of the study.

  • Description of connection between model findings and visualizations are mostly clear, but connections to the research question stated in the Introduction are at times unclear.
Progressing
  • Provides poor description of data, where description lacks multiple details regarding the context.

  • Research question(s) poorly articulated, with little to no general connection to a one-way ANOVA.

  • Outlines variables considered for analysis, with very few details regarding how they were collected and / or their associated units / levels.

  • Creates data visualizations requested, axis labels require additional information to understand the context.

  • Provides poor description of relationships seen in visualization.

  • Does not correctly fit one-way ANOVA models and obtains ANOVA table.

  • Provides written conclusion regarding the hypotheses tested in the both one-way ANOVAs, with many errors that bring into question understanding of underlying concepts.

  • Does not correctly determine if an additive two-way ANOVA model should be fit.

  • (If applicable) Provides written conclusion regarding the hypotheses tested in the both two-way ANOVA, with many errors that bring into question understanding of underlying concepts.

  • Evaluates conditions of one-way ANOVA model with many errors that bring into question understanding of underlying concepts.

  • Statement regarding who the analysis can be inferred to is mostly unclear, with few if any connections to the sampling methodology used.

  • Statement regarding what relationships can be inferred between the variables is mostly unclear, with few if any connections to the design of the study.

  • Interpretations are done in general statements, not in the context of the study.

  • Description of connection between model findings and visualization is unclear with little to no connection to the research question stated in the Introduction.
