The design projects in this course also address
| Assessment | Weight |
|---|---|
| presentations (wk2, wk3, team effort, peer evaluated) | 10% |
| interim project reports (team effort) | 20% |
| final project written reports (team effort) | 40% |
| final project oral presentations (team effort, peer evaluated) | 5% |
| CHE Showcase, Design Expo (team effort, judge evaluated) | 5% |
| team-peer zero-sum scoring/adjustment of the above | ±40%* |
| end-project peer evaluation (by team members) | 20% |
| total | 100% |
Example.
The original score assigned to every member of the team is 9 pt.
The individual team members redistribute the team score.
fractional score for final project written report (40%) + oral presentation (5%) given to the team=0.45
Jane Doe Marylyn Monroe Smokey Bear Winnie Pooh Testudo Sum
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
adjustment given by Jane Doe x -3 +1 +2 0 0
adjustment given by Marylyn Monroe +6 x -2 -4 0 0
adjustment given by Smokey Bear +2 -2 x 0 0 0
adjustment given by Winnie Pooh 0 0 0 x 0 0
adjustment given by Testudo 8 -5 -1 -2 x 0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
average adjustment +4 -2.5 -0.5 -1 0 0
score assigned to team 9 9 9 9 9 45
zero-sum adjustment to score 1.8* -1.125 -0.225 -0.45 0 0
score assigned after adjustment 10.8 7.875 8.775 8.55 9 45
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
adjustment to fractional score +0.09* -0.05625 -0.01125 -0.0225 0 0 ... 50% of 0.45 (0.225)
fractional score assigned 0.54* 0.39375 0.43875 0.4275 0.45 2.25=0.45*5
* 1.8 = ((+6+2+0+8)/4/10)*(50% of 9) = 4/10*4.5
0.09 = ((+6+2+0+8)/4/10)*(50% of 0.45) = 4/10*0.225
0.54 = 0.45+0.09 = (1+4/10*0.5)*0.45
In this example, Jane gets 1.8 points, taken away from Marylyn (-1,125), Smokey (-0.225), and Winnie (-0.45).
Homework|reports are due electronically at ELMS at the beginning of the class
(or at the individual group meetings with the instructor) on the
specified due date; no late homework|reports will be accepted
unless individually arranged with the instructor before
the due date with a valid excuse. To help facilitate discussion
during individual group meetings with the instructor, bring a
hardcopy of most relevant materials (e.g., process flow diagrams)
to the meeting; in addition, you may present your latest results
on a laptop. Discussion among classmates (within each group or
outside) is allowed in solving individual homework
assignments, but each student must do his/her own work (no
copying!). On the other hand, project reports (both interim and
final) represent a team effort, and the entire team collectively
receives the same grade for each team assignment. How each team
divides up its members' responsibilities within is each team's
own prerogative. Likewise, the team interim/final reports must be
the team's own work -- no copying of other team's work nor work
from beyond this class (e.g., project reports from previous years
or from another school). Adjustment for different team members
is through peer evaluation conducted at the end of each of the
two projects.
We abide by the University of Maryland's policy governing undergraduate students. Course-Related Policies and Resources for Undergraduate Students apply too all courses, including this.
Class attendance is required. "Class attendance" refers to attending the project description lectures, team presentations, and individual team meetings with the instructor.
Plagiarism and academic dishonesty absolutely will NOT be tolerated, and suspected incidence will be referred to the Student Honor Council of the Judiciary Programs. It is your responsibility to consult the instructor whenever there is any doubt on the definitions of these terms or on the allowable materials on each specific homework assignments or reports. See Policy on Academic Integrity.
For a team assignment (e.g., presentation, reports etc.), if one team member is guilty of plagiarism, it is likely that the Student Honor Council will hold responsible every team members whose name appears on that assignment. Search for information on-line via search engines (e.g., Google, Bing, etc.) and AI chatbots (e.g., OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, Microsoft's Copilot, Meta's Llama, etc.) is allowed. In fact, the ability to search on-line is an extremely critical aspect of this course. However, you must properly reference each source in the form of specific web URLs, specific journal articles, or prompts to AI chatbots (google "how to cite AI prompts", "how to reference AI", etc.). In addition to the traditional methods of information gathering (e.g., figures, reaction rate expressions, model parameters, etc.), if you find on-line source codes (including Aspen worksheets, spreadsheets, Matlab programs, etc.) that help you with your project, you are allowed to use them, but be very clear in your report what is your work and what is "borrowed"; failure to do so constitutes plagiarism.
Whether or not you sign explicitly in each assignment or exam, it is assumed that you adhere to the following University of Maryland's Honor Pledge.
"I pledge on my honor that I have not given or received any unauthorized assistance on this assignment/examination."
If you have a documented disability and wish to discuss academic accommodations with the instructor, please do so as soon as possible.
