Content: Results/Analysis

23 to 25 points

Data are clearly and concisely presented. Tables, graphs, and �gures are used when needed to simplify data presentation and are capable of “standing alone.” The data measures are consistent with practicum goals and objectives and are thoroughly analyzed to provide a solid basis for further discussion.

21 to 22.9 points

Data are presented. Tables, graphs, and �gures are used but need modi�cation to reach the standard needed for publication. Enhanced data measures or analysis could be employed to provide a more solid basis for further discussion.

1 to 20.9 points

Data are not well presented. Tables, graphs, and �gures are • Underused and insu�cient; • Overused and unclear; or • Dependent on explanation. The data measures and analysis need signi�cant medication to e�ectively provide the biostatistical or epidemiological foundation for good public health discussion.

0 to 0 points

A results section is missing from the �nal paper.

The student’s conclusions include viable suggestions for future public health endeavors.

21 to 22.9 points

Student results and experiences are good but do not consider important alternative viewpoints from the public health literature. The conclusions provided in the discussion could be better linked to the student’s practicum experience and/or accepted public health practices; or, the student’s conclusions need some revision to better advance the case for future public health endeavors.

1 to 20.9 points

The discussion of student results and experiences lack correlation to other public health activities. The student’s conclusions lack viable suggestions or are disconnected from the student data and experience.
