Teaching Assistant Lab Report Grading Breakdown

All lab reports are graded by the Teaching Assistants under faculty supervision on a basis on 100 points. At the end of the term, all the lab report grades are added up and divided by the total number of points possible. This is then multiplied by 100 and multiplied by the weighting shown above to contribute to the overall grade.. The following are the weightings used for each lab report grade:</o>

Discussion/Conclusion15%

All lab reports are due by 11:59PM the night before the next lab. This means that in most cases the lab report will be due about a week after you've performed the lab. However, if your lab does not meet the next week during the term, then your lab report would be due about two weeks later.

Lab Report Lateness

For a lab report that is late up to one week, there will be a mandatory 20 point deduction in the grade. For lab reports more than one week but less than two weeks late, there will be a mandatory 40 point deduction in the grade. For lab reports more than two weeks late, no credit will be given.

Items shown as “Required�? do not have weight in calculating the semester long project grade, but must be successfully completed to receive a grade.

Semester Long Project Bonuses and Penalties

The following bonuses and penalties will be added to and subtracted from the semester long project:

Item% bonus or penalty
Early submission of project+10%
Completion of BDR project (line route)+3%
Completion of BDR project (roof route)+10%
Completion of BDR project (perimeter route)+3%
Completion of BDR project (tunnel route)+6%
Completion of BDR project (new route)+10%
Retrieval of BDR ball (any route)+10%
Completion of RDS project+10%
Completion of ISAR project+10%
Completion of Train Guidance project+10%
Completion of Supermarket project+3%
Each business day project is late-10%, up to -100%

The project is due the day of the final presentation. The project is considered late after that time. Note that after 10 business days, the project grade will be a zero.

For example, if you do an early submission of a BDR that uses the tunnel and the project is scored as an 80, your semester long project grade will be 80(the base)+10(early submission)+6(tunnel route), for a total grade of 96.
