You should know what is fair, and you can get some good feedback likely if you provide your geographic area.
In general, when negotiating salary make an employer put a price tag on you first, then if it is fair, you can go for it or negotiate a little more, ask for extra time off etc. If it is a low offer, they may be testing you to see if you know the market, don't be afraid to come back at a fair market value for new grad in your area.
And don't accept an offer below market with some unwritten promise to increase your pay if you do XYZ. That isn't fair to you and the employer is trying to take advantage of you. If you get a fair offer and you ask for say $2k more, and they say well if you execute over the first 90 days with X Y Z and those are tangible real goals, not subjective, then that is reasonable. Just make sure it is in writing in the offer letter.
