Flowering Factor:
Beginning
•Introduction does not
clearly explain the
flowering factor
Intermediate
•Introduction explains the
flowering factor, though
importance is not clear
•Introduction uses visuals
to explain connection to
overview flowering
pathway
Advanced
•Introduction explains
the flowering factor
•Introduction uses visuals
to explain connection to
overview flowering
pathway
•Fewer gene pages
than group members
•At least one gene page
is missing some
information regarding
genomics, gene
function, or gene
expression
•At least one gene page
present for every group
member
•Each gene page contains
information on at least one
of the three pieces of
information: genomics,
gene function, and gene
expression
•Some conclusions are
drawn but connection to a
future experiment or
human impacts are
unclear.
•At least one gene page
present for every group
member
•Each gene page contains
information on at least
two of the three pieces of
information: genomics,
gene function, and gene
expression
•Proposes an experiment
to test the effect of
changing the flowering
factor or gene **OR**
•States how this
flowering factor impacts
humans.
•Presentation is visually
clear and appealing.
•Presentation is mostly
organized in the sections
shown above, with few
exceptions.
•Presenters share work in
presentation equally.

Conclusions
Presentation
Date:
•There is no clear
conclusion or
implications of the
research stated
•Presentation is poorly
organized.
•Participation among
group members is
unequal during the
presentation.
•Presentation could be
clearer or better
organized.
•Some presenters are
more dominant than
others during the
presentation.
Expert
•Introduction clearly explains
the flowering factor and why it
is important
•Uses clear visuals to connect
this flowering factor to
overview flowering pathway
•At least one familiar example
is used to illustrate how the
flowering factor works.
•At least one gene page
present for every group
member
•Gene pages contain thorough
information on genomics, gene
function, and gene expression
•Proposes an experiment to
test the effect of changing
flowering factor or gene
**AND**
•States how this flowering
factor impacts humans.
•Presentation is visually clear
and appealing.
•Presentation is well organized
into the above components.
•Presenters speak clearly and
confidently and share work
equally.
