Finally… the Community Box Maker project is graded based on the Consortium rubric.

warning

Review the “Scores” and “Points” carefully in Edline.  I usually upload all of the details so that you can understand how you ended up with your grade.  Please do not just look at the overall grade and then ask me why “you got this grade.”  If you say that to me, I’ll know that 1) you’re not reading the class blog, and 2) you’re not reading the progress reports correctly, in which case, I will need to deduct points from your project.

Still, I anticipate that some of you may agree with the grading and some of you won’t.  Either way, please take a look at the Consortium rubric one more time, and then come and talk to me.  We have a lot of work to do with the current project, so if you’d still like to talk to me about the project grade after reviewing the Consortium rubric, let’s have a grade conference during the tutoring time.
