Writing an

Analytical

Paragraph

Paragraph includes:

• A topic statement
accurately

presenting

information on

probability.

• A detailed
explanation of how
the results of the

trial compare with

probability

calculations.

• A concluding

statement

thoroughly

summarizing

results of the
experiment.

Paragraph includes:

Paragraph includes:

• A topic

statement
presenting some
information on
probability.

• Some

explanation
of how the results

of the trial

compare with
probability
calculations.

• A concluding
statement
summarizing
some results of
the experiment.

Paragraph includes:

• A topic statement
that does not present
information on
probability.

• Little explanation
of how the results of
the trial compare with
probability calculations.

• A concluding
statement that
does not summarize
results of the
experiment.

* Some projects may not require a bar graph.

** During the first part of the Robotics course, you will be graded strictly on programming VIRTUAL
robots using ROBOT VIRTUAL WORLDS. No physical robots will be built until the second part of the
course. At that time, you will be graded on both the construction and programming of the physical
robot
