Goals for this rubric – Anne, did I get this rubric to address these??

• Can students assess if article authors justified their purpose with lit review and introduction. Analyzing worth and significance of the study – should it have been studied in the first place?

• Can students assess if article authors pursued a scientifically appropriate method of studying their question: study design, sample selection, data collection methods

• Can students recognize validity and credibility of the study: bias, reliability, credentials of authors, venue of publication

• Students clearly express their ideas: not only understand, but can articulate what they understand

• Mechanics: spelling, grammar, cover page, references
