Faculty: Please outline your grading policy here, including grading scale and specific participation requirements, as well as how and where you will communicate grades to students.

How the outcome is assessed

  1. Evaluate through class discussion, critique, and /or written tests if students use appropriate nomenclature to defend creative, critical and technical decisions in project concepts and development.

  2. Evaluate how well students absorbed and consequently applied the learning though oral critiques of projects.

  3. Evaluate through class critique to determine how well students were able to advance their project concepts by applying evidence and using logic to make decisions.
