IS 257: Database Management

Assignment 4 Grades

I was rather disappointed by the low quality of documentation in all but a handfull of reports. In most cases the descriptions were short and lacking in details, and queries, reports, etc. lacked any explanations what so ever. I did not use this as a basis of grading per se, but many people lost points because poor documentation left me uncertain about their progress on the project.

Instead, I graded the assignment as a whole on four different dimensions, looking for evidence of progress towards the final deliverable. I assigned up to 25 points for each of the following categories:

Grade distribution

GradeFreq (# of projects)
1002
953
903
852
601

(Four of the projects are done by two people, two projects are not yet graded.)
