Data are not analyzed using mathematical/ statistical methods. A statement of the results shows no relationship to the question or hypothesis. Discussions show no relationship to the findings and provide a poor presentation. |
Data are analyzed using some mathematical/ statistical methods. A statement of the results provides some relationship to the question or hypothesis. Discussions are inconsistent with the findings and provide a questionable presentation. |
Data are analyzed using reasonably appropriate mathematical/ statistical methods. A reasonable statement of the results shows a good relationship to the question or hypothesis. Discussions are reasonably consistent with the findings of the investigation and provide a good presentation. |
Data are analyzed using appropriate mathematical/ statistical methods. A statement of the investigation results relates directly to the question or hypothesis. Discussions are consistent with the findings of the investigation and provide a good presentation |
Data are critically analyzed using appropriate mathematical/ statistical methods. A precise statement of the investigation results relates directly to the question or hypothesis. Discussions are clearly consistent with the findings of the investigation and provide an excellent presentation. |

● Makes no iterative modifications to characterize performance.
● Uses no data from iterative testing to support detailed final design. |
● Uses unsystematic iterative modifications (e.g. component / solution testing) to characterize performance. ● Testing data is not sufficient to support detailed final design. |
● Uses sufficiently systematic iterative modifications (e.g. component / solution testing) to characterize performance.
● Testing data is sufficient to support detailed final design. |
● Uses deliberate iterative modifications (e.g. component/ solution testing) to characterize performance.
● Justifies detailed final design using objective performance data from iterative testing |
● Uses deliberate and effective iterative modifications (e.g. component / solution testing) to characterize performance. ● Justifies detailed final design using objective performance data from iterative testing. |

Conclusions are not logical or are completely unrelated to the objectives, limited evaluation of significance and quality of results, recommendations are missing or irrelevant. |
Some of the conclusions are logical but are not necessarily related to the originally stated objectives, limited evaluation of significance and quality of results, recommendations are attempted but not justified or do not go beyond changing equipment/ solution. |
Sufficient conclusion and sufficiently related to the originally stated objectives, recommendations are sufficiently attempted and justified. |
Conclusions are logical, attempt to relate them to objectives, attempt to evaluate significance and quality of results, recommendations are clearly stated and justified, going beyond recommendations for equipment modifications |
Conclusions are logical and related to the objectives, clearly evaluate significance and quality of results; recommendations for future work are clearly stated and justified, going beyond recommendations for design or solution modifications . |
