This page provides additional information about how your project will be graded.
One thing all students should keep in mind is that completing the
minimum project criteria will result in a
satisfactory grade of C. Listed
below are some guidelines that are considered to raise or lower your
grade from a C. Keep in mind that a
B reflects good work and an
A means excellent.
Although we do use the guidelines that follow, grading these projects, unlike
grading homework assignments, quizzes, and exams, is subjective.
We will be considering things like creativity, originality, and presentation when grading your
projects and these elements are hard to quantify.
Some criteria that will improve your grade:
- the writing and layout of the presentation flow extremely well
- presentation is easy to understand and has a clear theme
- appropriate use of tables, frames, forms, and other advanced XHTML
code
- code is very well-documented and easy to read
Some criteria that will decrease your grade:
- not all the requirements are included
- inappropriate use of tables, frames, forms, and other
advanced XHTML code
- the presentation does not flow together
- presentation includes several errors -- i.e., typing, spelling,
and other grammatical errors (please don't rely solely on the
spell checker)
- hyperlinks are broken
- images are broken
- individual pages are too long and wordy
- text is poorly composed
- code is all compressed together and not pretty printed
- code is not commented
- code mixes several different styles together
