Assessment Rubric

Week 11: Project Memo: Automation Code

Instructions: As you evaluate this assignment please assess it on the following criteria. Below
each criteria are instructions on how to award points. If you do not give a perfect score on a
particular criterion, provide specific feedback to explain why you felt full points should not be
awarded. You will also be asked to provide open response feedback (optional) on the overall
assignment. Written feedback is extremely important as it will help improve any work before it is
included in the Disaster Relief Final Report.

Criteria 0 1 2 3 4 5 Comments

Quality of Description ⬜ ⬜ ⬜ ⬜ ⬜ ⬜
● Purpose and description of circuit explained [2 pts]
● Decisions and sensor boundaries identified [2 pts]
● Final outputs explained with regards to the user
experience [1 pt]

Quality of Circuit Diagram ⬜ ⬜ ⬜ ⬜ ⬜ ⬜

● Circuit diagram included [4 pts]
● Summary of sensors explained [1 pt]

Quality of Arduino Code ⬜ ⬜ ⬜ ⬜ ⬜ ⬜

Quality of Results ⬜ ⬜ ⬜ ⬜ ⬜ ⬜
● This item is graded as an overall assessment of the
quality of the reflection on a scale from 0 (very poor) to
5 (exceptional)
● Did the response address the questions in enough
detail that you can understand the results of the code
and how the design evolved?
● Did the author explain the specific results of their circuit
based on trials with the inputs?

Overall

0 = very poor/missing, 1 = poor, 2 = fair, 3 = satisfactory, 4 = good, 5 = exceptional

When a specific grade breakdown is given, you should use that breakdown to determine the
appropriate number of points for that criteria and give written comments regarding why any
points were taken off. In the case of criteria that are more subjective, use the scale described in
the table below to determine an appropriate number of points to award. Make sure to give
comments regarding why a particular score was given (if you took off any points).
0: Very Poor or Missing most or all of the required content. Does not address the specific
Missing questions being asked. Unintelligible.

1: Poor Missing answers to significant parts of the question(s). Difficult to understand.

Not enough detail is given to understand the answer.

2: Fair Missing some small parts of the question(s). Short or incomplete answers are
given. Insufficient detail is given to completely answer the question(s).

3: Satisfactory Answers all parts of the question(s). The responses are present but are not very
detailed or thorough.

4: Good All parts of the question(s) are answered with sufficient detail to understand what
is being communicated. The answers might be slightly superficial and do not
show much depth of insight/comprehension.

5: Exceptional All parts of the question(s) are answered completely and show understanding
and depth of insight into the topic.
