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.
