Academic Grading Scheme

* Equal weight for the two, and the grade components given by the Academic Coordinator

include the input from the Technical Coordinator.

** The grade G makes 95% of the total grade of the capstone project course, and the

remaining 5% is from the subjects of CEAB Complementary Skills.

Phase 1 Report/presentation 25 % Supervisor(s) and

academic coordinator*

Gp Phase 2 Report/presentation 25 % Supervisor(s) and academic coordinator *

Phase 3 Report/presentations 50 % Supervisor(s) and academic coordinator *

GI Individual contribution Supervisor,

taking the inputs of the team members into account

G = Gp ( 0.5 + 0.5 GI )


19

Grading

Grade of the individual contribution

GI = GM + a (Ginput - GM) in percentage term

Ginput granted by the supervisor Ginput = 100% should be granted to the student(s) who made

the best contribution to the team work.

GM is the mean score of the (Ginput)s of the group

a = 100%/GM


20

Grading, example 1

Team 1, 4 members

Gp_supervisor = 80% and Gp_coordinator = 80%, Gp = 0.5*(80+80)% =80%.

Ginput = 100%, 100%, 100%, and 100%, granted by the supervisor

GM = ¼ x(100+100+100+100)% = 100%, a = 100%/GM = 100/100 = 1.0

GI = GM + a (Ginput - GM) G = Gp (0.5 + 0.5GI)

Assuming that the group members get the same grade of 81% for CEAB Complementary Skills

Ginput

GM = 100%

a = 100/100 =1.0

GI GP G Compl. Skills
