APA Format |
Not APA format |
Tried APA format |
Mostly APA, some errors |
Good APA format |
|
Literature Review |
No real review of the existing literature |
Minimal review. It’s not clear how cited lit relates to your research |
Decent review of the current literature on your topic. Have at least 3 references that directly relate to your research question |
Good review of the current literature on your topic. Have at least 5 references that directly relate to your research question |
|
Hypotheses |
Hypotheses not mentioned or it’s not a testable hypothesis |
Hypotheses stated at the end of intro. Hypotheses don’t really follow from literature or don’t entirely make sense |
Hypotheses that follow from the literature. Hypotheses are testable and directional. |
Well thought out and interesting hypotheses based on the literature – testable and directional. |
|
Methods |
|
|
|
|
|
Participants |
Very little thought into participant selection |
Clearly state how data will be collected – e.g. what’s the population. How would you obtain a sample from that population |
Clearly state how data will be collected, state the population, include a sample size determination based on the literature |
Well thought out sample size determination based on the literature – clearly state the population and a feasible method for collecting data from that population. |
|
Procedure – research design |
Little info about procedure |
Not a clear procedure |
Stated research design that tests the hypotheses |
Procedure section clearly lays out research design. The research design provides a good test of the hypotheses |
|
Procedure - Materials |
No or little info about materials |
Vague info about materials |
Materials (e.g. measures, manipulations) make sense given the hypotheses and research design. Measures clearly labeled as independent or dependent variables. |
Well thought out materials. Materials selected make sense given the hypotheses and research design and thought was put into controls variables and choosing measures that are well-established. Measures clearly labeled as independent or dependent variables. |
|
Proposed analyses |
No info about proposed analyses |
Include proposed analyses, but they don’t make sense given the hypotheses |
Proposed analyses make sense given the hypotheses. |
Well thought out statistical analyses given hypotheses. Analyses take into consideration all measures and manipulations in the study. |
