How many of the experiments did I actually participate in?	I did not participate in any of the experiments at all.	I participated in only one of the experiments.	I participated in less than half of the experiments (at a rate of one per day)	I participated in about half of the experiments (at a rate of one per day)	I participated in more than half of the experiments (at a rate of one per day)	I did at least one experiment each day during our unit of study.
How earnest were my efforts in journaling each of the experiments?	I made no attempt to fulfil any of the components of this assignment.	I journaled only one experiment.	I journaled less than half of the experiments.	I journaled about half of the experiments.	I journaled more than half of the experiments.	I journaled every day.
How often did I extend my experiments over a period of days to judge their relative efficacy?	I put no effort into exploring how these experiments might work if extended beyond the allotted time of each singular experiment.	I carried only one experiment over a period of time beyond the 15-20 time-frame to see what larger effects it might have.	I carried less than half the allotted number of experiments over a period of time beyond the 15-20 time-frame to see what larger effects it might have.	I carried about half of the allotted number of experiments over a period of time beyond the 15-20 time-frame to see what larger effects it might have.	I carried more than half the allotted number of experiments over a period of time beyond the 15-20 time-frame to see what larger effects it might have.	I lived each of the experiments for the duration of this unit of study, making note of how each affected my life in a larger sense.
How various were my experimentations?	I performed none of the experiments, and so could not have benefited from any of their variety.	I only tried one type of experiment.	I only tried two different kinds of experiments.	I tried three different sorts of experiments.	I tried four different kinds of experiments.	I tried five or six different kinds of experiments
