Name: Problem Set #2 – Written Description Criteria Full Credit (2 pts) Partial Credit (1 pt.) No Credit (0 pts) 1. Has the student provided sufficient detail that another beginning Statics student could reproduce the approach to the solution? Identify sequence by which unknowns are being found. One necessary step is missing or steps are slightly out of order. More than one necessary step is missing or greatly unordered. Variables used in each equation are identified. Variables used are not identified in one equation. Variables used are not identified for multiple equations. Body or particle chosen for FBD is identified (if applicable). Body or particle for FBD not clearly identified. 2. Has the student demonstrated an understanding of what is being done in the solution process? Approach described is fundamentally One error in the approach or distracting extraneous information. Multiple errors in approach. Each equation used is described in words, not with algebra. One equation described algebraically. Multiple equations described algebraically. 3. Is the description written such that an expert can understand what the student means? Description begins with the objective(s) of the problem. Description does not begin with the objective of the problem. Pronouns have clear meanings (each sentence is easily understandable). One or two sentences are not clear. More than two sentences are not clear. 4. Is the description focused on the approach to the solution of this problem, not the specific numbers of the solution? No problem-specific quantities are used in the description. One problem-specific quantity is provided in the description. More than one quantities are provided in the description. Details are provided solving this particular problem. Description is about how to solve this type of problem in general. 5. Is the assignment formatted according to guidelines given? Description no longer than ¾ page typed using font size and paragraph spacing indicated. Description more than ¾ page, but less than 1 page. Description more than one full page typed. Vectors are boldfaced, scalars are italicized. One or two vectors/scalars are not properly formatted. More than two vectors/scalars not properly formatted. No figures are present. One or more figures are present.
