Possible Points 8

Ratings	Comment
8 pts	Excellent. All four systems are represented and explained.
6 pts	Proficient. 3 of the 4 systems are represented and explained.
4 pts	Satisfactory. 1-2 of the systems are represented and explained.
2 pts	Unsatisfactory. It is unclear what system is being included.

This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome System Integration. All systems and regulatory strategies have been thoroughly explained. This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome System integration Systems are compatible with each other as described in the final version of the animal.

Possible Points 10

Ratings	Comment

Presentation

This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome Presentation. Evidence that the student can communicate their ideas accurately and in a meaningful way.

Possible Points 3

Ratings	Comment
3 pts	Excellent. Every major point is well supported and well-articulated. The presenter engages with the audience while conveying a clear understanding of knowledge and understanding of their systems.
2 pts	Proficient. Every major point is adequately supported and well-articulated. The presenter engages with the audience while conveying an adequate understanding of knowledge and understanding of their systems.
1 pts	Developing. Many of the points are adequately supported and articulated. The presenter engages with the audience to some degree but does read from their notes and only partially convey’s the necessary information.
0 pts	Unsatisfactory. The presenter is reading word for word notes and does not seem to be able to articulate information about their animal systems.
