Component Exemplary Nonperformance 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. Basic work may also be missing components of a given question. Nonperformance occurs when students are missing large portions of the assignment, or when the answers simply do not make sense and are incorrect. 10 pts Two Maps 9–10 points: The student used the interpolation techniques correctly and produced two clean, well-designed maps. Maps should include: Title, legend, scale, the interpolated surface. 5–8 points: The student used the interpolation techniques correctly and produced two maps. Maps should include: Title, legend, scale, the interpolated surface, but may be missing 1–2 elements. 0–5 points: The student wasn’t able to make progress on the maps. and/or Maps are missing a significant number of elements. 10 pts Discussion Questions 9–10 points: The discussion is well written and includes all of the following components: Justification of preferred technique Cost/benefit analysis of the two techniques Discussion of how interpolation work with two research problems Should additionally identify that measurement errors directly translate to and decrease accuracy of interpolated surfaces. 5–8 points: The discussion is moderately well written and includes all of the components. or The discussion is well written but missing components or fails to answer some of the questions. 0–4 points: The discussion is poorly written and is missing several components. and/or The discussion fails to address more than 2 critical components or fails to answer questions.
