Rubric Analysis

While working on the Tse-Whit-Zen case study for our project, I (and probably all of us) have spent a lot of time going through the Northwest Coast Archaeology blog of Prof. Quentin Mackie. I really like the layout and information so I think it's probably a good go to to test our group rubric on. Here goes...

Scope

Excellent

Scope of the project is clearly defined.

Reasons for inclusions and exclusions of information are clearly defined.

Depth of Analysis

Excellent

Analysis is meticulous but does not include unnecessary information.

Background of case study material is explained clearly and connections to research are clearly established.

Presentation

Excellent

Website is presented in a clear, easily accessible format.

There are no spelling or grammatical errors.

A variety of media are included in the presentation. (eg. maps, pictures, writing, videos, etc.)

Material is broken up into appropriate categories and lengths.

Evidence

Excellent

Statements of fact are always backed up by referenced material.

All evidence provided is clearly relevant to the research.

Selection of resources and viewpoints are balanced.

Summary

(N/A)

 References

Excellent

All information and images used in the website are appropriately referenced.

At least five of the bibliographic references are from peer reviewed, academic sources. (N/A)

There are no errors in the bibliographic entries.

All entries are in the Harvard referencing format. (N/A)


Well, that all seems in order!
