Outline includes all the required components and planned experiment meets requirements for the assignment and is clearly and accurately described. Submitted on time. 9-10 points Outline missing one or two of the required components, planned experiment does not meet one of requirements for the assignment minor issues with clarity and accuracy. 7-8 points Outline missing several of the required components, planned experiment does not meet several of the requirements for the assignment major issues with clarity and accuracy. 5-6 points Outline missing most of the required components planned experiment does not meet the requirements of the assignment. 0-4 points Background information about enzymes in general and about specific enzyme used in project is clearly and accurately written. Questions and hypothesis are specific, relevant and clearly stated. 14-15 points Background information about enzymes in general and about specific enzyme is somewhat unclear and/or inaccurate. Questions and hypothesis could be more specific, relevant and clearly stated. 11-13 points Missing background information about enzymes in general about specific enzyme used in project questions and hypothesis. 7-12 point Missing background information about enzymes in general about specific enzyme used in project questions/hypothesis. 0-6 points Experiment is designed to directly test the hypothesis; description of experiment is detailed and well written and includes all materials and methods used. 18-20 points Experiment is mostly designed to test the hypothesis description of experiment is somewhat inaccurate some information about materials and methods used is missing minor problems with clarity an organization. 15-17 points Experiment is barely designed to test the hypothesis description of experiment is inaccurate most of the materials and methods used are missing major problems with clarity an organization. 10-14 points Experiment is not designed to test hypothesis description of experiment and materials and methods used are missing. 0-9 points Results are clearly and accurately presented in a table and/or graph format. 18-20 points Results are presented, but minor problems with clarity and/or accuracy. 15-17 points Results are described, but major problems with clarity and/or accuracy and/or results not presented in table or graph. 10-14 points Results are not included 0-9 points A clear, accurate and well organized discussion of results that demonstrates good knowledge of enzymes. 14-15 points Minor problems with clarity, accuracy or organization demonstrates some gaps in knowledge of enzymes. 15-17 points Major problems with clarity, accuracy or organization demonstrates minimal knowledge of enzymes. 10-14 points Missing discussion of results, or major problems with clarity, accuracy or organization missing understanding of enzymes. 0-9 points A well stated conclusion that is accurate and specific and directly related to the data collected. Clearly stated whether or not the results support the hypothesis. Relevant suggestion for improvement of experiment. 9-10 points Conclusion stated, but slightly inaccurate, not directly related to data collected suggestion for improvement of experiment not very relevant. 7-8 points Conclusion stated, but inaccurate barely related to data collected missing suggestion for improvement of experiment. 5-6 points Missing conclusion, only suggestion for improvement of experiment. 0-4 points All references used are included and in correct APA format, in-text references are included. 5 points All references are included, but a few minor mistakes in APA format, missing in-text references. 4 points Missing one or several references major mistakes in APA format. 3 point No references included or references not in APA format. 0-2 points Less than 3 spelling and grammatical errors 5 points Between 4 and 7 minor spelling and grammatical errors 4 points Between 8 and 12 spelling and grammatical errors 3 point More than 13 spelling and grammatical errors 0-2 points
