| Introduction | | *well developed; thoroughly explains the problem/process *process clearly presented with lots of mathematical examples & reasoning *needed definitions/ theorems are given | *fairly well developed *informs the reader of problem/process *process clearly presented with mathematical support | *little development *minimal information about problem/process *process not clearly presented and has little mathematical support | *little written *confusing or inaccurate *not all needed definitions/theorems given |
| Mathematical Details | | *proper mathematical reasoning employed & explained *key steps shown with an appropriate level of detail *lots of mathematical terminology correctly used | *some specific mathematical details that adequately explain *most key steps are included with a few unnecessary computations *mathematical terminology used correctly | *either wrong or irrelevant details given *too many confusing computations & steps provided *some mathematical terminology, but not used correctly | *no details given *no mathematical terminology |
| Writing Organization & Style | | *clearly organized throughout *clearly guides the reader through the process using words such as “first”, “recall” *transitions given between paragraphs | *organized most of the way through *usually guides the reader through the process *some transitions given between paragraphs | *little organization *often does not guide the reader | *no organization evident *does not guide the reader |
| Citations | | *complete bibliography correctly formatted with reputable sources *references appropriately made throughout the paper | *bibliography included with appropriate sources but not correct formatting *sources referenced | *bibliography includes sources that are not appropriate *sparse references without proper APA or IEEE format | *bibliography not included *no sources are references in the text |
| Completeness, Citations & Form | | *abstract is clear, concise, and less than 100 words *name & reference figures, tables and equations *all paper specifications are thoroughly satisfied | *abstract is is clear but does not accurately represent the paper *many references to tables, figures, etc were understandable *paper specifications met | *abstract is not clear & does not represent the paper *internal references made in the paper to tables, etc *most paper specifications are met | *abstract is poorly written and does not accurately represent the paper *tables, equations, figures, or paragraph formatting was confusing *not all paper specifications were met |
