Presentations | 15% |
As a Capstone Design course, oral communication skills are an important aspect of your performance in class.
Presentations (progress reports during the quarter as well as the Final Presentation) will be graded for both the group (20% of the Presentation grade) and the individual (80% of the Presentation grade).
The group will be graded on preparation and organization (e.g., knowing what order everyone goes in, having a logical order and smooth transistions, covering all important aspects of the project, staying within time limits). Individuals will be graded based on: on preparation (e.g., making sure your ppt and animation files are pre-loaded and work, being ready when it's your turn), effective material(e.g., well-organized, logical order, good coverage, right level, right amount), oral delivery (e.g., speak up, eliminate um's and ah's), and presentation mechanics (e.g., don't point at the computer screen, look at the audience, staying within time limits). | ||||||||||||
Documentation | 15% |
As a Capstone Design course, written documentation skills are an important aspect of your performance in class.
Documentation of your project will be web-based.
Grading of the project documentation will consider effectiveness of organization, ease of use, completeness, conciseness.
The on-line documentation will be graded throughout the quarter, not just at the end of quarter; I will give you feedback on the documentation during the quarter.
During the quarter, I will provide comments to you, either in person or via email, about the quality of your documentation so you know how you're doing.
The grade will be a combination of a group grade (50% of the Documentation grade) as well as individual grade (50% of the Documentation grade).
The main components of the documentation are

The class 'Final' will be your Final Presentation. The Final Presentation is your argument for the grade you should get. It should be presented as your formal presentation of your work on the project, both procedural and otherwise. It should summarize the entire quarter's work - not just your work since your last presentation. The Final Presentation is one of the main factors I use in your Final Evaluation.
At this time, each group needs to hand in to each instructor::
Members of the group will not recieve a grade until these DVDs are submitted and can be graded.
