1S1P Topic - Controls of Temperature
You can earn up to 5.5 points for report content and up to 3.5
pts for writing quality. When grading these reports I
usually start with an average score (4.5 + 3 = 7.5 out of 9 in
this case) and then raise or lower your score based on what I find
in your report.
By this point in the semester you shouldn't really need any
topic specific guidelines. Here's my recommendation for how
you should approach any 1S1P report.
Read through the online reference material from start to
finish. As you are doing so take some notes and try to
create an outline of the topic. Then decide what the main
points are and what you can include in a 1 page (double spaced)
report. This is a relatively short topic so this shouldn't
be too hard to do.
Explain the material in your own words - your report should be
your understanding and explanation of the material. Avoid
generalities, try to include specific details and examples from
the reading section. The separate sections or paragraphs of
your paper should blend together into one seamless coherent
report. Your report should be nearly free of
misspelled words and grammatical errors.
