Quality of Proposition Definition
Outstanding proposition. Complete and correct. It shows a deep understanding of the relation between the two concepts. acids-compounds: < that gives off H+ when dissolved in water are Excellent Excellent 4 points Good Good Complete and correct proposition. It shows a good understanding
acids-compounds: > are examples of
3 points Poor Poor
Incomplete but correct proposition. It shows partial understanding
acids-compounds: < form 2 points Don’t Care Don’t Care Although valid, the proposition does not show understanding between the two concepts. acids-compounds: > is a different concept 1 points Invalid Invalid Incorrect proposition. acids-compounds: > made of 0 points
