A sample student paper is provided but please rephrase and rewrite my report without direct plagiarism that can be set off by Turnitin.com. Format is single-spaced, however, the work has already been done by the previous student. Just need to rephrase.
Instructions and rubric are attached below as a word document.
Formatting (1 point):
(0.2 points) 12 point font in a standard font (such as Arial, Times, or Calibri)
(0.2 points) Single Spaced
(0.2 points) Separate page for graphics, figures, and references.
(0.2 points) Each section has a clear header.
(0.2 points) 1.5 Page minimum reached. It can be and easily will be longer.
Introduction (2 points): Introduce the lab and your hypothesis. Give pertinent background information as needed that explains what you are doing.
(0.5 points) Clear and strong hypothesis
(0.5 points) Background Information with in-text citations for all facts in APA style.
(0.5 points) Background information leads logically to your hypothesis.
(0.5 points) No information that should be in other sections (e.g., discussion).
Methods (1.5 points): Talk about what you did for the lab to collect the data and/or information as well as the analyses you did.
(0.5 points) Clear explanation of all steps take to collect the data with enough detail that someone could repeat the work. Copy and paste of the lab manual is not okay. Make sure to answer the required questions as statements.

This must be your own words in a narrative (not a list form). You will lose half of your points in this section if it is in a list and not a narrative form.
Results (1.5 points): Talk about the data you collected and the results of the analysis without analyzing it. Analysis means that you are telling us what the data and results means. For example, “this group was bigger than that one.” Just state the numbers and let the reader figure out which one is bigger on their own. Save the analysis for the discussion!
(0.5 points) All required results are stated/ submitted. For example if you calculated an average you state what that result was and these results make sense for the experiment. Make sure to answer the required questions as statements.
(0.5 points) Results written in paragraph form as a narrative.
(0.5 points) No conclusions of what the results mean or information that belongs in another section of the report. Note graphics like charts belong in the graphics section!
Discussion (2 points): Analyze the data in your results and relate that to your hypothesis. The discussion section will also be where you talk about how to improve your research and why this type of study matters.

(0.5 points) Statement(s) of what the strengths of the experimental approach were.
(0.5 points) Statement(s) of what the weaknesses of the experimental approach were including possible sources of error or bias.
