Project Grading

Here is what I am currently thinking…overall, the project will be worth 250 points:

Weight	Points	Score	Description
20%	50	Group	Planning: 25 for Narrative + 25 for Sketch
50%	125	Group	Implementation: divide claims total points by 8
10%	25	Group	Presentation: using a rubric based on the spec
10%	25	Indiv	Peer evaluation or reflection for 1-person teams
10%	25	Indiv	Process: commit history, chat logs, contribution
