Data Collection

One or both of the required elements is missing from your paper.

Writing style, flow, spelling, mechanics, sentence structure, organization, etc. are unacceptable. This section is difficult to read and understand.

A description of the process used to collect data is included (i.e. an account of how the data were collected with not enough detail that someone else could collect your data without you being there) AND an explanation of the type of data that were collected is provided (e.g. latency, duration, frequency, intervals, etc.); however, it is not accurate OR the type of data collected does not make sense given the targeted behavior.

A description of the process used to collect data is included (i.e. an account of how the data were collected with enough detail that someone else could collect your data without you being there; however, the person would need to ask a few questions first) AND an accurate explanation of the type of data that were collected is provided (e.g. latency, duration, frequency, intervals, etc.) OR a well written description of the process used to collect data is included (i.e. an account of how the data were collected with enough detail that someone else could collect your data without you being there); however, the type of data that were collected is inaccurate (e.g. you collected latency data but called it duration) AND the type of data collected makes sense given the targeted behavior.

Intervention

The intervention or teaching strategy is described only generally and/or the description is so vague that it is unclear exactly what was implemented and how.

Writing style, flow, spelling, mechanics, sentence structure, organization, etc. are unacceptable. This section is difficult to read and understand.

The intervention or teaching strategy is described; however, details and examples are not clear enough that the reader can understand how you implemented the intervention (i.e. someone would need you to be there in order to use your intervention).

Writing style, flow, spelling, mechanics, sentence structure, organization, etc. are acceptable, however, at times, this section is difficult to read and understand.

(1) The intervention or teaching strategy is described in a complete and detailed manner. (2) An explanation of why the intervention was chosen is included. (3) Details and/or examples are provided that allow the reader to understand how you implemented the intervention; however, someone would need to ask a few questions before they could use your intervention without you being there.

Learning Goal Data

The graph does not accurately depict the data collected (e.g. rates, percentages, etc. are calculated and represented correctly) AND/OR the graph includes less than two of the following components: (1) The X and Y axis are labeled accurately (i.e. the Y axis indicates the behavior and type of data collected and the X axis indicates a measure of time); (2) A separation between baseline and intervention data is indicated with a solid line; (3) The baseline and intervention phases are labeled accurately; and (4) Any change in intervention is indicated with a dotted line.
