Individual Grading

Upon request of at least one member of a team, the instructor grades each member individually. This is not the preferred method because a functional micromouse requires more than functional individual parts. The integration of parts is an essential but challenging process that can determine the success or failure of a micromouse project.

Keep in mind that a C means ``satisfactory'', or that a student fulfills the minimum expectations of the class. A B means ``above average'' and an A means ``excellent/exceptional work''. As a result, functional individual components that are sufficiently documented and demonstrated can only warrant a C.

In order to get a grade better than a C in individual grading, a member must produce, document and demonstrate more than just a functional component.
