18. Evaluation

The final punctuation/score of the student is dependent on the methodology adopted by the different disciplines involved. This can depend on multiple and distributed moments of evaluation like tests, team papers, class participation, etc. This should be designed by the teachers and communicated to the students during the initial moments of each curricular unit.

The final score is the result of teamwork that includes, for example, reports, presentations, prototypes, and blogs (that have different quotes), which will influence the final score obtain-individual punctuation of the project. Then, a correction factor is applied.

The student’s individual score for the project comes from the team project punctuation, pondered by the individual factors correction application inside the team, which demands that the mean needs to be equal to 1.0. As the individual correction factor is a complex approach to the evaluation, it is recommended that the coordination team and teachers or others involved read Fernandes et al. (2009) to understand the due application of this method.  

The team score on the project will result from the combination of multiple factors contemplated in the Final product. 

1. Report: 60% [Preliminary Report (25%) + Final Report  (35%)]
2. Presentations: 20% [Presentation of the Project Progress (7,5%) + Final Presentation (12,5%)]
3. Prototypes and blog: 25% [Prototypes (20%) – Prototypes of the final applied solution on the workstation through Lego Mindstorms (mandatory) and Product Prototype (facultative)]; 5% Blog.
