There are two different ways that your projects will be evaluated. 60% of your final grade will come from your Group Work, while 40% of your final grade will be based on your Individual work. Both sections will be evaluated according to specific requirements listed below.
You will notice that each requirement is accompanied by a point value. You will receive a number (from 0 to 15) for each component that indicates how well you have fulfilled the task. 0 is the lowest (unsatisfactory) and 15 is the highest (excellent).
