Project grading

Those following the KTH course DD2397 will only receive Pass/Fail on the project. If you are taking the SU course, you get an F-A grade, please read on.

Grading for DA7021 (SU)

The basic grade on a project fullfilling the requirements is E, but can be increased in steps depending on three factors:

1. Good implementation of project requirements: 2 steps.

   If you, at first submission, have a well-written report, controls well-described, and hand in notebooks, then you reach a C. Sloppiness, mistakes, and missing required items can hold back the grade to a D or an E.

2. Using a central repository: 1 step.

   If you use Sourceforge, GitHub, Google Code, or a similar service, in which you invite a course teacher, and use it to share code, documention, and data (within reason), you can reach a B. However, a proper directory structure is also needed. It must be possible for a teacher to navigate in the project.

3. Use of a relational database system: 1 step.

   Use MySQL, ProgreSQL, SQLite, or similar system to store data and you can reach the A. You have to detail how you use the database in the report.
