Graphin 2

The document provides a rubric for evaluating graphing of data. It includes categories for evaluating the type of graph chosen, the title, labeling of the x and y axes, units, accuracy of plotting points, the data table, neatness and attractiveness. For each category, criteria are given for scores of 4, 3, 2, and 1. A score of 4 represents highest quality or adherence to best practices in that category, while a score of 1 represents lowest quality or failure to meet basic standards.
