Using data to guide design changes Students correctly used measurements to all changes to their prototype instrument. Students correctly used measurements to guide most changes to their prototype instrument. Students attempted to use measurements to guide some changes to their prototype instrument. Students primarily used guesswork to guide changes to their prototype instrument. Effect of changes made during design process All changes to the instrument had the predicted effect, in terms of frequency. More than half of the changes had the predicted effect, in terms of frequency. Fewer than half the changes had the desired effect, in terms of frequency. Very few or no changes to the instrument had the desired effect, in of frequency. Documentation Students documented all changes with specific measurements, and explained why they chose to make them. Students documented changes in general terms, and explained why they chose to make them. Students documented some changes, and made some attempt to explain why they made them. Students made little attempt to document changes or explain why they made them. Students documented problems and proposed solutions; they documented results of attempted solutions. Students documented problems and proposed solutions, but did not document the results of proposed solutions. Students documented problems but did not propose any solutions. Students did not document any problems or proposed solutions. Prototype instrument’s ability to produce accurate Prototype is able to produce four or more accurate notes, as measured with a tuner. Prototype is able to produce three accurate notes, as measured with a tuner. Prototype is able to produce one or two accurate notes, as measured with a tuner. Prototype is unable to produce notes that are measureable with a tuner.
