Lab 1 Rubric

Lab activity	3 points	2 points	1 point	0 points
Reading and listening activities	Thoroughly answers all three questions about the article with well-supported reasoning.	Answers all questions but lacks depth in the theoretical or measure discussion.	Answers some questions with minimal explanation.	Answers are unclear or missing.
Familiarizing ourselves with the Implicit Association Test (IAT)	Provides 5-10 thoughtful bullet points on study design/validity based on the Project Implicit site.	Provides fewer than 5 bullet points or lacks critical reflection.	Points are vague or do not address study design/validity.	Task not attempted.
Choose one of two research questions	Clearly states the chosen research question and subquestion (or pre-approved alternative).	Research question is stated but missing the subquestion.	Research question is vague or does not match provided options.	Selection is missing.
Organize your “Project” folder	Correctly displays working directory using here() and provides evidence of .Rproj setup.	Minor issues with here() usage or directory display.	Project structure is disorganized or here() is used incorrectly.	No evidence of organization or reproducible paths.
Load data and needed packages	Successfully reads .sav, saves as .rda, loads .rda, and provides glimpse with correct dimensions.	Completes loading process but fails to provide glimpse or correct dimensions.	Major issues in the .sav to .rda conversion process.	Data not loaded or incorrect format.
Check data with codebook	Correctly verifies all 5 variables (raceombmulti, etc.) and includes the code used for confirmation.	Verifies variables but fails to include code for one or more.	Checks fewer than 3 variables or provides no code output.	Did not perform the codebook check.
Data wrangling	Correctly filters for US, calculates age using lubridate, and selects the 10 required variables with rationales.	Most wrangling is correct, but minor errors in age calculation or rationales are missing.	Major errors in filtering or age construction; incorrect variable count.	Wrangling not attempted or result is unusable.
Compile above work into an introduction	3-5 well-structured bullets covering anti-fat bias, IAT, and the chosen research question context.	Covers key points but lacks clarity or specific context for the RQ.	Bullets are too brief or missing key introduction elements.	Introduction is missing.
