Course Assessment

The Collaboration Technology course offered to 1st trimester students is primarily a Practical Laboratory course.  The learning objective is to help students gain hands on practical knowledge of using modern collaboration technology tools for execution of a real collaborative project.

Therefore, we will measure the students success in execution of such a project than measuring the theoretical understanding of the subject. How did you execute each step of the project execution and what is the quality of all deliverables produced in this project?

You will be provided quality standards. You will be expected to execute all your tasks to meet these standards. The quality will be measured primarily on 3 parameters - OnTime Delivery, Quality of Content and Quality of Presentation.

OnTime Delivery: Each task to be performed has a deadline associated. Any task completed on or before the deadline will get full 10 marks. Task completed after the deadline will loose 2 marks for each day of delay. Any task completed 6 or more days late will get zero marks.

Quality of Content: This will be based on joint recommendation of Teaching Assistants and Quality Analysts. What is expected in the content will be explained in class, lab sessions and you can always approach TAs and QAs for any clarification required.

Quality of Presentation: How you present your findings is equally important. The method of assessment will be same as Quality of Content.
The proposed final students grades will be based on the following criteria:

40% for the internal assessment at each stage of the project execution
60% for the final assessment of the quality of the book chapter you produce at the end of the project
The course will not have OLT as well as final examination.
