Leveled Grading

for project work itself (not documentation or proposal or research)


    The idea here is the assigned work is to be evaluated coarsely to one of the levels of achievment listed below. In the case of designing a SW system, the goal of the assigned work is for the student to go through the design and development process and it is less important how well the system functions, but, rather that it does function in some sense. This is meant to encourage creativity and exploration of new ideas without punishment when there are problems.

     

     

    Leveled Grading Scheme:

    100% =
    • all portions of project designed and implemented, and run (regardless of accuracy)
    • turned in all deliverables

    low A =

    • all portions of project designed and implemented,
    • 3/4ths or more (to be judged by grader) of the system components RUN (regardless of accuracy)
    • spent adequate time on project
    • turned in all deliverables including documentation of what is not working
    low B =
    • all portions of project designed and at least 3/4th is implemented,
    • only half or more of the system components run (regardless of accuracy)
    • attended all work sessions but one
    • turned in deliverables, including documentation of what is not working
    mid C =
    • all portions of project designed, and at least 1/2 is implemented
    • only 1/3rd to half of the system components run (regardless of accuracy)
    • spent adequate time on project
    • turned in all deliverables including documentation of what is not working
    low C =
    • all portions of project designed, and at least 1/2 is implemented
    • nothing working
    • spent adequate time on project
    • turned in all deliverables including documentation of what is not working
    D =
