Test Report Grading Rubric

Table of Contents

Section I > Introduction

An integral part of what makes the Scientific Department unique is the many documents readily available on the subject of anomaly research. Said documents, while expected to be of a good or higher quality, can oftentimes end up shallow, or missing integral information that ends up making the document lacking. To compensate for this, feedback is given to respective documents to better explain what the author did right, or wrong, or can improve on. This is what the document grading rubric is mainly for, as it gives the Scientific Department a way to better understand not only their mistakes but also their successes, which will lead to them becoming better experienced in future documentation. 

Section II > Grading Rubric

The standard grading rubric follows a simple-to-follow structure, involving the main aspects of each category involved within the document itself. This is followed by a summary of what the document was, as well as what it did well and not well. An example of this rubric can be shown below.

Section IV > How To Check Points

To check how many points you have acquired in ScD you can go to any bot channel and run the command -coins or /coins. Doing so will display the amount of research points you currently have.  Members may submit rank requests in the #rank-request channel.

Section V > Category Explanations

While the document as a whole must be graded for what it is worth, each category is also important to focus on, as it is an important tool to use when coming up with the average grade. The average grade is the main outcome of the document, as it is the combination of every categorical grade. However, to reach the average grade, these categories are important to focus on. Getting a [1] in one category and a [5] in another category could very well lead to the third category acting as a tiebreaker for the average grade. While there are many different topics to focus on when documents are being graded, these are the most influential to your grade.

Section VI > Custom Reports

You are not required to use the ScD test report format, but if you do make a custom format ensure that it covers all the information that would be included in the original format, failure to include the required information will lead to your report being failed.
