Grading

Individual project grade is 80% of your final grade. The grade is based on the overall results, including peer and client evaluations. Quality and timeliness of all deliverables are key considerations. The grade is an individual grade, not a team grade. If the team, the client and I all agree that contributions were equivalent, each team member will receive the same grade. If there are significant variances in the work done by team meber, this grade can vary significantly. Specifically, there will be a score computed for the project and then an individual contribution factor will be applied to that number. For example, if it is determined that one person did considerably less than the others on the team, that individual's grade would be multiplied by an appropriate factor -- perhaps 80% of the score. Project grade will be based 50% on code, 40% on documentation, and 10% on the team's record of on-time delivery.

Team presentations will constitute 10% of your final grade. There are two team presentations and each one will be 5% of your grade. There will be a single grade given to the entire team for this piece of the work.

¡
Quizzes will make up the last 10% of your grade. There will be at least one quiz (February 26). The quiz will cover the broader scope of software engineering as covered in class lectures. The critique of another team's documentation will also count as a quiz. The February 26 quiz will constitute 75% of this section and the critique will be 25%.
There will be no final exam.
