RE: Paper 1 returns

Your grade on paper 1 is posted below, sorted by ID number.

On your paper, when we hand it back, you may see one or more numbers. 
Those numbers refer to specific problems which your paper may have had. 
That list appears immediately below.

Common errors:

1 – spelling, grammar, sentence structure (1 each)
2 – lacks percentage differences
3 – lacks specific variables for both males & females
4 – lacks direction of percentages differences
5 – late paper (loss of 5 points)
6 – lacks variable for female (hypothesis)
7 – reference on 2nd page 
8 – incorrect reasoning (hypothesis)
9 – percentages in columns are incorrect or table not included
10 – did not follow instructions (all writing to be on 1 page)
11 – hypothesis (not specific to either gender)
12 – incomplete reference (lacks URL, date retrieved or title)
13 – no reference

If you have concerns about your paper grade I suggest you first visit
with Ms. Garcia to go over with her how we arrived at the grade we did.

If you still have concerns, you may submit for regrading. Follow the 
steps outlined in the regrading policy outlined in the syllabus.

On the posted sheet, before we get to total grade, you will see the grade 
components in the following columns:

1	2	3	4	5	6	

Here is the explanation:
1 - you got the table correct (30 possible)
2 - describe big difference for males (15 possible)
3 - describe the big difference for females (15 possible)
4 - hypothesis for males (15 possible)
5 - hypothesis for females (15 possible)
6 - references (10 possible)

After adding these up we subtracted for the specific errors you will see noted 
on your returned paper

14 – no stated difference for females

15 – hypothesis lacks clear reasoning

16 – numeric errors (see #9)

17 – incorrect reasoning (see #15)

18 – incorrect reasoning due to numeric errors in table
