The report fails to

describe the group's
completed tasks,
current work, and
future work; the
group seems in
danger of not
finishing the project
on time.

Descriptions of the
group's completed
tasks, current work,
and future work
may be vague;
evidence of the
group's ability to
complete the
project on time isn't
quite convincing.

Form & Organization:

The headings describe
the content that
follows accurately, but
there is some
inconsistency with
paragraph indentation.
Also, the completed

have been better
executed with bullet

The chart/schedule is
an interesting idea,
but the execution of
it is confusing. There
is also a bit of
information in the
progress report that
would mean nothing
to iFixit: the final
sentence of
Remaining Work
concerns the FInal
Project folder, which
is for this class, but
not for iFixit.

Language: The spelling

and grammar are
technically proficient,
but the sentence
construction can be
strange. Some of the
sentences feel like they
use too many words to
convey a relatively
simple concept. Some
of the verbs seem like
they could be more
vigorous.
