IB Assessment for Group 4 Project

IB Personal Skill Rubric. The score out of six points maximum here is a required element of final IB Group 4 scoring.
Further assessment for WFS credit will be described in each individual class.

WFS Assessment of Group 4 Project
In HL Biology, your WFS evaluation will be based on the following pieces being complete and thoughtfully accomplished.
1. Personal Skills - I will consult you group's peer evaluation comments, but also heavily rely on my own observations and reports from other teachers. If yesterday was not up to the desired standards, you have the next session to improve the quality of your participation.
2. Manipulative skills - handling equipment, carrying out design, the practical side of data collection. (I am adding that rubric below)
3. Complete documentation, including (a) the planning packet, (b) the background research from all science represented in your group, (c) the baseline measurements and description of the conditions (with replicates of course), (d) outline of the design (could be included in your planning packet or as a separate document) and (e) two peer evaluations, one for each day.
