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 |
Data Characteristics |
.... AND shows creative or innovative thinking about presentation. |
All data characteristics are clearly labeled and easy to connect with features of the histogram |
All data characteristics presented though not clearly tied to features of the histogram or potentially missing |
Incomplete data characteristics and/or small and hard to interpret histogram, more tidiness needed |
Determination of 1 sigma points |
Clear understanding and communication of both estimating and calculating the standard deviation and what it indicates about the variability |
Clear understanding and communication of estimating the standard deviation. Some sense of what it indicates about the data. |
Good apparent understanding of how to estimate(by method taught in lab) the standard deviation of a data set. |
Apparent misunderstanding of the concept, correlation with the data unclear, written description hard to follow |
