Planning Document Grading Rubric

The planning document should outline each team member’s assigned tasks for the next week.

Requirements

A completed template submitted to Canvas by the required date and time.

Logistics and Timing

The report deadlines are based on the day of the mentor meeting. The planning report is due at midnight on the day of the mentor meeting.

Grading

Grades are assigned on a scale of 0-5 points and each student in the group may receive a different grade. In Canvas this is set as a group assignment, but with individual grades. I strongly recommend using the Canvas SpeedGrader and filtering by project group on the grade book page.

Tasks should be assigned to a single individual. If the same task is repeated multiple times, the task should be broken up into smaller individual tasks each assigned to a single person,

Mentors may apply additional grading standards to the rubrics below.

Two points of emphasis:

1. Don’t fall behind on grading!
2. Make sure to establish standards early. Giving everyone a 5 for everything is going to encourage people to slack; make sure that the high performers are rewarded and people who are slacking know that you are aware of their lack-of-effort.

Grade	Description
5	All information filled out, task information is descriptive, complete, and easy to follow. No grammar, formatting or style errors present in the writing.
4	All information filled out, but there are minor grammar, formatting or style errors OR the task description isn’t sufficiently complete.
3	All information present, significant presentation (style/grammar/formatting) or description problems. Demonstrates a lack of effort.
2	Missing information, significant presentation and content issues.
1	Incomplete and demonstrates a lack of effort.
0	Zero effort / not submitted

Late Policy

Late submissions made within 24 hours of the deadline will automatically be docked two points. Submissions after that time will receive a grade of zero.
