Judges
JUDGING
All projects will be judged by the following:
- (10%) Documentation - Did students include citations for sources and permissions for non-student-produced material?
- (15%) Complete and Functional - Was the entire project complete and did it function as intended?
- (20%) Creativity - Did the student(s) use a higher level of creativity throughout the design process and presentation?
- (25%) Understanding - Did the student(s) demonstrate a solid understanding of the software used for project development?
- (30%) Intended Purpose - Did all elements of the project work together to serve the intended purpose?
Projects are evaluated by the judges to determine the best project in that category. The judges use several instruments for making their evaluations. Judges will provide each student with a feedback form listing strengths, weaknesses, and suggestions for each project. Actual scoring materials will NOT be released. All decisions by the judges are FINAL.
HOW TO JUDGE PROJECTS
You and any other judges that you will be working with will receive all the materials that you will need to complete your judging assignment. You will have information on each project, a rubric guideline sheet for each project on which to keep notes, and a student feedback sheet.
