Exam: 25%
Attendance and conduct in the Senior Design Lab: 10%
Grade to be determined by the Graduate Lab Assistant.
Participation and Contribution to the Project Team Effort: 15%
Grade to be determined by the instructor with student teammates input (as % of peer review evaluation scores). Also factored into the grade will be the student's attendance in class, including attending the other project teams' presentations.
Student's Project Team Performance: 50%
Grade to be determined by the instructor based on the following guidelines:
All system versions completed, documented, and presented 80-100
Pilot Model completed, etc. 60-89
Pilot Model NOT completed, some documentation done 0-79
A major consideration in the determination of this grade is the team's reaction to encountered problems (e.g., the quality and timelines of the corrective action planning, the dedication and determination of the team to succeed, the degree of whining and excuses, etc.)
