Quality of work |
Excellent effort that successfully communicates all the relevant features of the experiment in a professional looking manner |
Good effort that is facilitates the reader's understanding of the data with no substantive grammatical or presentation errors |
Effort apparent with only modest errors in grammar or inconsistencies in presentation, handwritten |
Shows little effort, small and hard to see plots, ineffective communication due to handwriting or confused grammar |
Determination of initial velocity of ball |
Goes beyond accomplished by examining possible sources of variability or similar applications in the world |
Data and calculations clearly presented with some explanation of steps. No substantive errors in numbers or analysis |
Data and calculations clearly presented with some explanation of steps. Some errors in numbers or analysis |
Presents data and results with few intermediate steps or explanation. Would be hard to follow for a novice |
Determination of numerical variability |
Uses previous ideas of variability with facility and insight to estimate a range of possible velocities. |
Uses previous ideas of variability appropriately to estimate a range of possible velocities. |
Uses previous ideas of variability inconsistently to estimate a range of possible velocities. |
Uses own ideas of variability to estimate a range of possible velocities. |
Challenge Solution(s) |
Determines line location (and hoop height) clearly and effectively while exploring additional aspects or applications of the setting. |
Application of data to determination of line location (and hoop height) is easy to follow with no evident errors or omissions. |
Application of data to determination of line location (and hoop height) is present with minor errors or omissions. |
Application of data to determination of line location (and hoop height) is hard to follow or disconnected from actual setting |
Analysis of success/failure and FreeMat |
Uses tools developed in this lab with no errors to interpret the data. Considers additional data which would improve clarity of results. |
If in error analyzes and finds error with cogent analysis along with comparison with FreeMat predictions. If successful compares analytic and numerical solutions thoughtfully |
If in error analyzes and speculates on error with analysis . If successful determines min/max with some reference to variability. No comparison with FreeMat predictions |
If in error guesses at source with little analysis along with comparison with FreeMat predictions. If successful determines min/max with no reference to variability. |
