This is an extremely well designed and detailed grading rubric for laboratory reports appropriate for science majors. I think this might be at a more advanced level than might be realistic for non-science major lab reports, but would be an extremely valuable tool for majors. Additionally, it is a teaching tool for such reports - showing students the appropriate level of rigor expected in scientific publications.

I thought this was an excellent rubric for grading lab reports. One of the strong points is that it follows the key steps of the scientific method. It is also easily adaptable to specific assignments. Students in one of our inquiry-based labs, design and conduct their own experiment and then prepare a poster. This rubric would be useful for evaluating the poster.If students were provided with the grading rubric in advance, I think it would improve the quality of the submitted work.
