Assessment Rubric S11 Projects in Robotics

The use of the following checklist is suggested, but not mandatory. Rather it is a tool to assess
students on essential outcomes. A level mastery means that a student has mastered all essential
parts of the unit at an appropriate high level. The student consistently demonstrated noteworthy
achievement of high quality, particularly in the higher order thinking or performance skills. B
level mastery means that a student has mastered all essential parts of the unit at an appropriately
high level in which the student successfully engaged in higher thinking or performance skills.
Students may receive a D (deficient) if they have not made a reasonable effort on one or more
outcomes.

hypothesis or
objective

Develop a complete plan and

present it in a scientific
method. Can explain why
result is as expected or not
and can re-test with new
hypothesis to obtain desired
result.
