Project 4: Optional Resubmission (Individual)

Syllabus

 I understand that my resubmission policy is not particularly liberal. While I would like to encourage students to demonstrate that they understand the nature of the communication issues they failed to demonstrate in their original project submission, I also feel that I need to respect the good, even excellent, efforts of those students who received higher grades on the same projects.

One project (selected from projects 1 or 2) may be resubmitted for reassessment, no later than the final class meeting, by prior agreement with the instructor. Based on the computed class average on the date the original submission was returned to the class, any such review can result in:

  1. No more than 50% of the point difference between your current grade (if it is lower than the class average) and the class average for that project. For example, if the class average for a project is 90 and your grade is 80, you could add a maximum of five (5) points to your grade by resubmitting.
  2. No more than 25% of the remaining total number of points available for the assignment (if your grade is higher than the class average). For example, if the class average for a project is 90 and your grade is 92, you could add a maximum of two (2) points to your grade by resubmitting. [100 minus 92 = 8 points, and 25% of 8 = 2)
  3. No change in the evaluation. Resubmission does not imply that you will automatically receive additional points. I must be able to discern some improvement in your communication ability to justify additional points.
  4. If you make a submission for this project, I will evaluate the maximum number of points you could receive on that project. If the total number of possible will NOT change your grade, I will NOT evaluate your resubmission. Please be sure to calculate your possible points accurately!


Resubmission must be presented in a timely manner and, in any case, NO LATER THAN the final class meeting.
