Content: Quantitative Research Article Basic

25 to >22 pts

Advanced

Correctly identified a study with a basic research design that used quantitative methods only. Gave clear, concise, and detailed rationale for how it is known that the study used a basic or applied research design supported with page/paragraph from article. Correctly identified specific quantitative research design (non-experimental, quasi-experimental, or true experimental) providing clear, concise, and detailed support for how this is known (including page/paragraph) from both article and textbook. Provided full article reference with hyperlink and both narrative and parenthetical in-text citations.

Incorrectly identified study as using a basic research design that used quantitative methods only when it actually used an applied one. Rationale for how it is known that the study used a basic research or applied design is not included and/or is not clear and/or does not include page/paragraph from article. Does not correctly identify quantitative research design (non-experimental, quasi-experimental, or true experimental) and/or does not provide support for how this is known (including page/paragraph) from both article and textbook. Is missing or gives incomplete information for one or more of the following: article reference with hyperlink, narrative, and/or parenthetical in-text citations.
