appropriate justification for controls. Project is feasible Results section The results clearly align with study hypotheses and the data analytic plan. Tables are well integrated and discussed in the section. Controls and preliminary analyses are well explained and justified. The statistical results are discussed in a sophisticated and accurate way. The results discussed are consistent with hypotheses and the data analytic plan. Tables are somewhat integrated and discussed in the section. Adequate justification of preliminary analyses and statistical controls. The statistical results are discussed adequately. The results section is under developed. Results section is incomplete in that tables are somewhat integrated, or preliminary analyses and statistical controls are not justified. Results are not always described accurately. The statistics used are inappropriate to test study hypotheses. Or, results are discussed incorrectly or inappropriately.
