Conference Presentations will be graded as a project and team members will divide the grade amongst themselves. For example, the conference presentation is worth 30 points. If a project created by 4 members receives a grade of 26/30 – than the total grade will be 4 x 26 = 104. Which means the team will have 104 points to divide between themselves. You should divide points according to effort. So, you will have to discuss and agree on a point distribution.

I am working on evaluating your conference presentations today and hope to have evaluation sheets out to each team by mid-week. This is a priority because as a team you need to discuss and decide how to distribute the grade you receive. I will provide you with detailed feedback to assist you with re-distributing your points, and I will rely on you to work together and be fair about the distribution of points. It is up to each of you to claim the points that are yours, and to ensure you do not accept points because your team members want to be ‘nice’. I count on your sense of fairness for this process to work to its best potential.

Thank you.
