Grading
Note for Fall 2012: 5 weekly exercises and the poster presentation will be "omit" grades worth 15% of the course, causing a 15% increase in the weight of the other grading factors.
- Weekly Exercises: 20% (2% × 10, individual)
-
Technology Evaluation: 25% (mostly group marks)
- Demonstration web site: 7%
- Presentation: 8%
- Written Evaluation: 8%
- Presentation summaries: 2% (individual)
-
Project: 55% (mostly group marks)
- Proposal: 2%
- Checkpoint Implementation: 3%
- Final Implementation: 40%
- Poster Presentation: 5%
- Project Overview: 5% (individual)
The project marks given on the group-based evaluations will be multiplied by an individual adjustment factor. This will be determined from evaluations of participation by the group's members.
The final project implementation will take the place of a final exam administratively: if you don't do it, you will be given an incomplete in the course; you must pass to receive a clear pass in the course; etc. Group members that do not personally complete a reasonable amount of the project implementation will receive a grade penalty (generally an F or N in the course).
