AEE 4261 – Final Project Grading Rubric Note: The following represents the expected grading rubric for this project, however the instructor reserves the right to add to or modify the content below at any time to account for unanticipated issues. A+: Correct carpet and EF/RF plot shapes. Hand calculations are complete and appear correct with correct units. B+: Wrong EF/RF plot shapes, but carpet plot shape is correct. Hand calculations are complete and appear correct with correct units. B: Carpet plot and spreadsheet are correct, but hand calculations are not correct. Why are they different? EF/RF plot shapes are correct. B-: Wrong carpet plot shape, but EF/RF plot shapes are correct. Hand calculations are complete and appear correct with correct units. C+: Wrong carpet plot shape, but EF/RF plot shapes are correct. Hand calculations are likely incorrect or incomplete. C: Carpet plot and EF/RF plots are wrong shape. Hand calculations are complete and appear correct with correct units. C-: Carpet plot and EF/RF plots are wrong shape, and hand calculations are not correct or are incomplete. D+ thru F: Little to no attempt made to complete the project OR some or several elements are missing (e.g., missing hand calculations, spreadsheets, plots, etc.)

Questions: Questions not answered or answers are unreasonable: -1/3 letter grade per Part not answered unless plot wrong shapes preclude a reasonable answer.

Formatting:

Hand calculations are illegible or difficult read (including handwriting that is unreasonably small): -2/3 letter grade

Minor format errors: up to -1/3 letter grade (e.g., only to a single plot, but not file-wide, or errors in no more than 1-2 elements)

Major format errors: -2/3 letter grade (e.g., multiple errors in several elements)

Missing units: -2 up to max -6 off letter grade above. Includes units missing or incorrect in spreadsheets, plots, and/or hand calculations.

Missing table elements: -4 per table element up to -20 off letter grade above. This refers to tables or columns of values required by the assignment.

Formatting errors include, but are not limited to, missing titles, axis or column labels, numeric alignment and significant figures, organization, legibility, use of plot space, missing legends (where they are otherwise appropriate), required axes ranges, and font size, particularly on plots.
