PLAN THE DESIGN Proposes a design plan and description that misses one or more important aspects of the criteria, constraints, OR intent of the problem. Proposes a design plan and provides a general description that addresses the criteria, constraints, or intent of the problem. Proposes a design plan with detailed explanation that completely addresses the criteria, constraints, and intent of the problem. Proposes a design plan and evaluates the suitability of the design to address the criteria, constraints, AND intent of the problem.
