Grading Criteria

We make use of a criteria based grading system. To pass the course you should show that you have fulfilled the criteria for passing. In the tables below the means of examination are indicated. The criteria are connected to the two ILOs repeated below for your convenience.

After completing the course the student should be able to

implement and integrate software components for robots
solve a robotics task with limited resources

in order to

be able to work with autonomous and other complex systems in research and/or development
become better at planning, executing and developing work in project groups.

Note: The contest and the challenges are not mentioned in any of the criteria. These are meant to be fun!

The matrix below shows which assessment task, assesses which ILO.

ILO		Flight camp INL1	Project PRO1	Reporting INL2
1	implement and integrate software components for robots	X	X	X
2	solve a robotics task with limited resources		X	X

The course is pass/fail and as such each criteria is only assessed at that level.

Criteria for the ILOs

Below the criteria for certain grades connected to certain ILOs are described.

NOTE: It is up to the student to make sure that s/he shows someone from the teaching staff that s/he has reached the ILOs connected to the project work by actively participating in the seminars and being able to answer questions along the way about the project work.

ILO 1: implement and integrate software components for robots

Grade

Criteria

Pass

The student passed the requirements defined by the "Flight camp"
The student contributed to a system meeting the minimum functional requirements for the integrated system.
The student can explain how the system (as defined above) is designed, highlighting the most important design choices.
The student can explain all the main components (including mechanisms for interaction/integration) of the system (as defined above) at a level of detail that makes it clear that the main challenges for the corresponding component has been understood.

Note that all sub criteria have to be fulfilled to meet the requirement this ILO.

ILO1.2-4 are demonstrated via the System design report at the end of the course where the student discusses the corresponding topics.

ILO 2: solve a robotics task with limited resources

Grade	Criteria
Pass	The student takes active part in the work leading to a system solving the minimum functional requirements for the project. The student takes active part in the reporting of the work along the way of the entire course.

Additional course requirements

In addition to fulfilling the requirements connected to the assessment tasks, the student also needs to, individually at the end of the course, deliver

A reflection (1 page typically) on your work. Did you learn what you wanted? What did you spend time on (account for the time you spent)?
A reflection (1 page typically) on the work within the group. What worked within the group? What did not? Could you have planned something differently?
A system design description showing that you understand how the system was design. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the system?

The final grade

To pass the course the student needs to meet the requirements at an passing level for both goals and the additional course requirements listed above. Since this is a team project driven course, there is strong emphasis on how the student collaborated together with the team.
