Information Gathering Accurate information taken from several sources in a systematic manner. Accurate information taken from a couple of sources in a systematic manner. Accurate information taken from a couple of sources but not systematically. Information taken from only one source and/or information not accurate. Construction -Materials Appropriate materials were selected and creatively modified in ways that made them even better. Appropriate materials were selected and there was an attempt at creative modification to make them even better. Appropriate materials were selected. Inappropriate materials were selected and contributed to a product that performed poorly. Modification/ Testing Clear evidence of troubleshooting, testing, and refinements based on data or scientific principles. Clear evidence of troubleshooting, testing and refinements. Some evidence of troubleshooting, testing and refinements. Little evidence of troubleshooting, testing or refinement. Scientific Knowledge Explanations by all group members indicate a clear and accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications. Explanations by all group members indicate a relatively accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications. Explanations by most group members indicate relatively accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications. Explanations by several members of the group do not illustrate much understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications. #2 Combination Task Specific / Generic Rubric for a Research Paper Retrieved January 9, 2011 from: K.

Performance Criteria Score Scale and Indicators of Performance Exemplary Good Acceptable Unacceptable Purpose The writer's central purpose or argument is readily apparent to the reader. The writing has a clear purpose or argument, but may sometimes digress from it. The central purpose or argument is not consistently clear throughout the paper. The purpose or argument is generally unclear. Content Balanced presentation of relevant and legitimate information Information provides reasonable support for a central purpose or Information supports a central purpose or argument at times.
