That's useful information, thanks. I'll add some thoughts on the rubric.

[edit]. Initial thoughts:

- "data wrangling" scoring difficult given this task - more weight to "rationale", that's more important the "performance", here.

- not enough focus on communication capabilities

- really need something on validation

- "proficiency" measure you use is pretty much impossible to accurately evaluate from your example question

- way too much weight to modeling section overall

By 3rd bullet, you mean Data Validation?

both data validation and model validation are important.

Of course more abstractly you want to validate the entire process - but I was referring to those two, as it is hard to see how to address the latter in a format like this.
