Evaluation
The grading rubric breaks down the students grade into an individual, group (collaboration), and video (final project) grade. Forty-five percent of the collaboration grade should be determined by how their teammates fill out the Teamwork Survey (15% each). The grading scheme is designed to reward students for their continuous revisions and individual work while emphasizing group collaboration and a polished final project.
