Final Project Grading Rubric:
=============================

50 points will be awarded for the clarity and formatting of written and oral
presentation, while the remaining 50 points are awarded for the merits of the
project undertaken. 

Project Presentation (Total: 20 points):
  All team members should be familiar with the project.  The presentation
  grade will be shared by all.  The presentation must include these
  components:
  - Problem Description 
  - Approach Taken
  - Results Found
(Survey papers should instead begin by outlining the area surveyed, give
background on 1-2 representative papers [do not have time for all 20], and
conclude with analysis, taxonomy, etc.)

Final Report (Total: 30 points):
  In addition to the following, deductions will occur for papers not formatted
  according to guidelines.  
  - Problem Statement (8 points)
  - Related Work (5 points)
  - Approach/Technique (8 points)
  - Results/Evaluation (5 points)
  - Future Work (4 points)

Through the project presentation and report, you must convince us of the
quality and merit of your project.  This will be evaluated based on such
qualities including, but not limited to (a) effort expended, (b) novelty, (c)
difficulty, (d) completeness, and (e) accuracy.  Projects (as a whole) will be
rated as Fail (0/50 points), Fair (25/50 points), Satisfactory (40/50 points),
or Good (50/50 points).  Please keep this in mind during your presentation and
while writing the paper.

It should go without saying that you must adhere to the academic honesty
policy, and must not e.g. plagarize, pass others' ideas off as your own,
fabricate results or turn in results collected by others or not during the
course of the project, etc.  We will spot check papers for signs of academic
dishonesty.
