Interpretations and Explanation of Data

Discussion - Interpretations and Explanation Rubric

Row	4	2	0
20	Discusses all reasonable interpretations of data Supports each with examples and references to data	No reasonable interpretation of data was discussed Lacks references to data	Interpretations absent
21	Interpretations are clearly explained in the context of classroom learning and to background information Explanations have appropriate depth, details, and completeness.	Very weak connections to class learning Explanations poor	Explanation absent
22	Discusses appropriate statistical analysis and calculations (these calculations are NOT the same as those used in the results section - statistical difference in data? Overlapping uncertainty bars?)	Statistical analysis and calculations are inaccurate or applied inappropriately	Statistical analysis absent

You should start this section by clearly discussing how the interpretation(s) of your data leads to conclusions. There may be multiple ways that you can interpret your data (not always); therefore, make sure you are thorough in your analysis.

Each interpretation should be clearly supported with specific examples and the corresponding data. If the data can be found on a graph or a table, make sure you cite the visual aid.
Each interpretation should be clearly explained in the context of classroom learning (use language and material that we have covered in class!), and should have appropriate depth. The explanation should be clear and complete.
Discuss the significance of any appropriate statistical analysis that you carried out (see results section for statistical analysis type) – For example, do your uncertainty bars overlap?
If calculations are required to discuss/interpret your data, you should show one example calculation here as well.
