ADD/DROP POLICY:
Given the importance of starting as a team as soon as possible, all add/drop cards must be submitted to the

STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES:
Any student who feels he or she may need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact me

Grading
All students enrolled in the course will earn a letter grade based upon their team's performance
and individual performance. To ensure a individual passing grade the team must deliver a working
final product following an acceptable software process.
In other words, your individual assessment will be largely based on how your team
performs. However, this does not mean that every member of the team will receive the same grade.
Individual grades will be adjusted based on individual assessment points.
There are many assessment points the following lists indicate the
main points for team and individual grades.
Team Assessment Points
- Overall project (including team website, minutes, team logs)
- Presentation(s) in class
- Professionalism
Individual Assessment Points
- Class/discussion attendance and participation
- Performance appraisals by team members
- Ability to work and promote the team
- Quality of all other work
- Professionalism
You will receive one overall grade at the end of the class;
no partial grades will be given, nor will a particular distribution be enforced among the above four.
You will, however, receive weekly feedback concerning your progress.

Appraisal Form
Please divide 100 points between your teammates
according to their level of participation in your
team's project. Do not assign any points to
yourself -- just to your team members. If you feel
all members have contributed equally, then assign
each team member 33.3 points (assuming there are a
total of four members). If on the other hand, if
you feel that one member did far more work than
all others and one member was not helpful, you
might, for example, give the more active member
45 points, the less active member 20 points, and
the other member 35 points. Please try to be
fair.
Also comment briefly on each team member's
performance. Your evaluation should focus on
standard evaluation criteria, such as technical
competence, effort, productivity, creativity,
quality, dependability, communication, initiative,
decision making, and leadership. Please assign a
number between 1-5, 1 being worst ("unsatisfactory"),
3 being ok ("meets requirements"), 5 being best
("outstanding") for each teammate, for each
of the attributes.
Your appraisal form should be emailed to the Instructor and Grader by 8a on the due date.
- Competence: possesses or seeks required knowledge
- Effort: tries to accomplish assigned tasks
- Productivity: level of work generated
- Creativity: conceptualized usful, innovative approaches
- Quality: demonstrates accuracy and thoroughness
- Dependability: follows through on responsibilities
- Communication: listens, expresses ideas/concepts
- Initiative: seeks out new assignments
- Decision making: sets objectives, evaluates alternatives
- Leadership: fosters good teamwork, solves team problems
The following template of the appraisal form is designed to assist you in evaluating your peers. Please feel free to use
more space for each area as necessary.
