Group Grading

Group grading is quite simple. If a micromouse solves the official maze on Picnic Day and submits a reasonable report using my guideline, each member of the team earn an A. A C is rewarded to members of teams that produce micromice that solve a maze of my design before the end of Spring quarter. A B is rewarded to members of teams that produce micromice that solve a maze of my design between Picnic Day and the end of Spring quarter. Minor adjustments (A-, B+, B- and C+) are applied based on date of completion.

The instructor, I, reserves the right to make adjustments based on factors other than the date of completion (when the micromouse solves a maze) and the quality of the final report.

In the event that a micromouse cannot solve the maze at the end of Spring quarter, the instructor reads the final report to assign a grade. Other factors, such as difficulty of the design and factors out of the control of team members, are considered in the determination of the final grade.
