An Assessment Tool for Student Design Projects
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a method developed by the author to assess student design projects. The method involves identifying assessment elements, weighting the elements, and grading the work as if had only one author. Data supplied by the students is used to identify the relative work put into each element. This allows individual grades to be calculated in a fair and consistent means. Sufficient background, context, and detail is given to allow anyone to use the reported method. In over eight years of use, no significant problems have been detected with this method.
