A 2-point response is complete
and appropriate. It demonstrates a thorough understanding of the concept
or task. It indicates logical reasoning and conclusions. It is accurate,
relevant, comprehensive, and detailed.
A 1-point response is partially appropriate. It is mostly accurate and relevant but lacks comprehensiveness and demonstrates an incomplete understanding of the concept or task. It contains minor flaws in reasoning or neglects to address some aspect of the concept or task. A 0 is assigned if the response indicates no scientific understanding of the concept or task. |

A 4-point response contains
an effective solution. It shows complete understanding of the concept or
task and thoroughly addresses the points relevant to the solution. It contains
logical reasoning and valid conclusions, communicates effectively and clearly
through writing and/or diagrams, and includes accurate and correct set-up
when required. It may go beyond the requirements of the item.
A 3-point response contains minor flaws. Although it indicates an understanding of the concept or task, communicates adequately through writing and/or diagrams, and generally reaches reasonable conclusions, it contains minor flaws in reasoning and/or knowledge, or neglects to address some aspect of the task. A 2-point response indicates gaps in understanding and/or execution. It contains some combination of the following flaws: an incomplete understanding of the concept or task, failure to address some points relevant to the solution, faulty reasoning, weak conclusions, unclear communication in writing and/or diagrams, or a poor understanding of relevant scientific procedures or concepts. A 1-point response indicates some effort beyond restating the item or copying given data. It contains some combination of the following flaws: little understanding of the concept or task, failure to address most aspects of the item or solution, major flaws in reasoning that led to invalid conclusions, a definite lack of understanding of relevant scientific procedures or concepts, or it omits significant parts of the item and solutions or response. A 0 is assigned if the response indicates no scientific understanding of the concept or task. |

as well as how parts
blend to form the whole. It is relevant, comprehensive, and detailed, demonstrating a thorough understanding of the reading selection. It thoroughly addresses the important elements of the question. It contains logical reasoning and communicates effectively and clearly. A 3-point response provides evidence that an essential interpretation has been made. It is thoughtful and reasonably accurate. It indicates an understanding of the concept or item, communicates adequately, and generally reaches reasonable conclusions. It contains some combination of the following flaws: minor flaws in reasoning or interpretations, failure to address some aspect of the item, or the omission of some detail. A 2-point response is mostly accurate and relevant. It contains some combination of the following flaws: incomplete evidence of interpretation, unsubstantiated statements made about the text, an incomplete understanding of the concept or item, lack of comprehensiveness, faulty reasoning, or unclear communication. A 1-point response provides little evidence of interpretation. It is
unorganized and incomplete. It exhibits decoding rather than
A 0 is assigned if the response shows no understanding of the item or if the student fails to respond to the item. |
