Midterm Rubric

Students: please help draft the rubric.

We are supposed to have a rubric so that you have an idea of how I grade these projects. While a lot of planning goes into developing the course so that everyone can fish for a lifetime, there have to be standards for accountability.

This is one such attempt. I would like for you to think about these categories and evaluation criteria, and give me feedback that would add or subtract or help me make them more clear.

Email me with suggestions.

Thanks, onno
