Rubric General Considerations Exemplary work will not just answer all components of the question but also answer correctly, completely, and thoughtfully. Attention to detail, as well as answers that are logical and make sense, is an important piece of this. Basic work may answer all components of the given question, but some answers are incorrect, or difficult to interpret given the context of the question. Nonperformance occurs when students are missing large portions of the assignment, or when the answers simply do not make sense and are incorrect. Survey Design (10 points) 9–10 points: A well-written survey design accurately assesses change and accounts for potential sources of error. Map is well designed and contains all requested components. It illustrates the written survey design, including points to be collected, station locations, and notations on features to be measured. 5–8 points: Missing 1–2 of the listed characteristics for an exemplary report and may be poorly written/unclear; AND/OR All characteristics are present but lack detail or are incorrect, showing a lack of comprehension. 0–4 points: Missing 2–4 of the characteristics, may be poorly written and unclear; AND/OR Most characteristics are present (1–2 missing) but are incorrect, showing a lack of comprehension. Survey Execution and Notes (10 points) 9–10 points: Students execute the survey and keep a detailed log of events. Students track equipment used, metadata, and other necessary field observations. 5–8 points: Missing 1–2 of the listed characteristics or poorly written/unclear; AND/OR All characteristics are present but lack detail or are incorrect, showing a lack of comprehension. 0–4 points: Missing 2–4 of the characteristics, may be poorly written and unclear; AND/OR Most characteristics are present (1–2 missing) but are incorrect, showing a lack of comprehension. Final Report and Figures (10 points) 9–10 points: A well-written summary that accurately assesses the survey design, potential errors, interpretation of results, and discussion of broader impact of technique. 5–8 points: 0–4 points: Missing 2–4 of the characteristics, may be poorly written and unclear; AND/OR Most characteristics are present (1–2 missing) but are
