For each project, there are 80 marks available. In order to spread the workload for both students and staff, continuous assessment will take place for the duration of the project period, with a number of staged reports. Some projects include individual or group presentations as part of the assessment. Each project has its own mark distributions and submission dates, and these are stated in the online Project descriptions. A typical allocation is:
| Report | Length | Marks | Due |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Interim report | 2-3 sides | 15 marks | Thursday, project week 2 |
| 2nd Interim report | 2-3 sides | 15 marks | Thursday, project week 3 |
| Final report | 10 sides | 50 marks | Thursday, project week 5 |
The main criteria for assessment will be the quality of the project work done, and the quality of the technical report writing. Marks will typically be awarded as follows:
| Standard | Marks out of 80 |
|---|---|
| Class I | 56+ (70%+) |
| Class II.i | 48+ (60%+) |
| Class II.ii | 40+ (50%+) |
| Class III | 32+ (40%+) |
| Below honours | 0-31 (0-39%) |
Notes
- No report, no marks. Half marks will not be awarded.
- For non-attendance at compulsory timetabled sessions, the penalty is 1 mark per hour or part hour missed.
- For late submission of interim reports, the penalty is 3 marks per day.
- No reports will be accepted after the submission date for the final report. Please see the policy on extensions.
- Feedback will be given on each report, but the marks will not be disclosed.
- The marks for different projects may be moderated after the conclusion of the project to even out any significant differences in mark distributions.
