Electrical Wiring Pyramid Construction Rubric
Criteria
Excellent
(5 points)
Good
(4 points)
Satisfactory
(3 points)
Joints
All wiring joints
are executed with
precision
ensuring secure
connections with
minimal excess
wire
The majority of
joints are
satisfactory, but
some display
inconsistencies in
execution, leading
to excess wire or
less secure
connections.
Alignment
The wires are
expertly aligned
to form a perfect
triangular
pyramid, with
each joint
aligning precisely
with the adjacent
wires.
The wires are
exceptionally
neat and
organized with
consistent
spacing between
wires and
minimal overlaps
The pyramid is
exceptionally
well-presented
showcasing a
high level of
craftsmanship
and attention to
detail.
Most joints are
well executed
providing
secure
connections
with minimal
excess wires. A
few minor
issues may be
present.
The wires are
mostly aligned,
and the pyramid
generally takes
a triangular
shape, although
slight
deviations may
be present.
The wires are
generally neat
and organized
with a few
minor overlaps
or irregularities
in spacing.
The pyramid is
well-presented
with evident
craftsmanship
and attention to
detail.
Neatness
Overall
Presentation
Needs
Improvement
(2 points)
Many joints are
poorly executed
resulting in excess
wire, insecure
connections, or poor
alignment.
Unsatisfactory
(1 point)
The wires are
adequately aligned,
but there are
noticeable
deviations, affecting
the overall
triangular shape.
The wires shows
significant
misalignment
impacting the
pyramid’s triangular
form.
The wires are
severely
misaligned
preventing the
formation of a
recognizable
pyramid shape.
The wires are
somewhat neat but
show noticeable
overlaps and
irregularities in
spacing.
The wires lack
neatness, with
several overlaps and
inconsistent
spacing.
The wires are
mess, with
numerous
overlaps and
widely
inconsistent
spacing.
The pyramid is
adequately
presented, with
some room for
improvement in
craftsmanship and
attention to detail.
The presentation of
the pyramid needs
significant
improvement with
craftsmanship and
attention to detail
lacking.
The pyramid
presentation is
poor,
demonstrating
a lack of
craftsmanship
and attention to
detail.
The joints are
consistently
poorly
executed,
leading to
excessive wire,
insecure
connections,
and alignment.
