// Guideline to prepare your project report for A&P II lab (BY 474)
Rubric: Here is a detailed outline of the grading policy for the project report
* These sections will also be considered during the midterm project evaluation.
Section | Description | Points | |
Title page | Include the title of the paper, your & partners name | 2 | |
Abstract* | A concise description of the objective of the study, experiments performed and most important results (limit 150 words) | 4 | |
Introduction* | Include the broader question underlying the present study (what has been done, why your research is important) | 5 | |
| What are the specific questions asked in this study; clearly state your hypothesis | 5 | |
| Explain the experimental set-up, variables, technology | 5 | |
Methods* | Provide sufficient details in the description of the materials/methods so that it can be replicated elsewhere | 15 | |
Results | Present/describe data in an organized fashion (the story should flow well) | 5 | |
| Results should be easily interpreted from the figures and/or data tables | 5 | |
| Properly analyzed the results (with appropriate statistics) | 5 | |
Discussion | Critical evaluation on whether the results match or contradict original hypothesis | 5 | |
| Major weakness (if any) in the present experiments and what experiments could be done in the future to address that | 5 | |
| How the results fit/adds to the current body of literature | 5 | |
References | At least 10 relevant references (could be journal article/textbook); appropriate formatting of references (see below) | 4 | |
Overall | How well have you incorporated four different physiological measurements (that you have learned in the lab) to your project? | 10 | |
| Execution of experiments: Do you have a sufficient number of subjects? Is your data sufficiently clean? Did you consider necessary controls experiments? | 20 | |
| | | |
| Total | 100 | |
Paper Length: The length of the paper should not exceed 5000 words, not including the figures, tables, and references. Please limit the number of figures and tables to four and two, respectively.
References: Follow the referencing style of Journal of Physiology (the referencing style default in this template)
