Each assignment will be graded on specific criteria of learning outcomes for that particular project.
In general, assignment grades are based on an evaluation of :
20 pts.: research & development [evidence of enthusiastic seeking out of new information related to the project]
20 pts.: process [evidence of extensive investigation, enthusiastic trial-and-error, exploration documented in required Notebook and Sketchbook for each project)
40 pts.: design quality/concept [overall design direction & layout]
20 pts.: execution [craftsmanship & presentation]
Please note:
Research and Process and Development add up to 40% of your final grade! This is because if you have these in place, the 40 pts. for design quality will almost always follow. (i.e.: good research and process = good design quality.)
Procedure: Following the format of the Sample Grading Sheet link posted on this blog, you will be given a grading sheet specifically designed to evaluate your performance on a given project/assignment. The criteria for each project/assignment will vary depending on the desired learning outcomes. You will be given a copy of this Grading Sheet when your projects are returned to you, so you will have a copy of it and I will retain a copy of it as well as a computer file. After all class projects are graded, the grades for that project will be released and you will be able to access your grades on an ongoing basis through CourseDen. At the end of the semester, all grades will be tallied and given the correct proportional weight in your final grade and entered in CourseDen.
