How will I be evaluated for this project?
The Electric House Project will be graded as follows:
- 20 points for initial circuit design, complete with correct symbols and correct specifications (see House Specifications on main page)
- 20 points per day during the build
- Loss of points may come from 1) being on an unapproved electronic device, texting, Snapchatting, etc. 2) not contributing to the building or designing of circuit or house, 3) working on assignments from other classes, 4) not being prepared for class (forgetting materials, etc.), 5) having an unexcused absence or being in ISS (there is no way to make up building points per day).
- 150 points for house (this is your group grade!)
- Meeting minimum construction requirements:
- Neat house assembly, decorations, four or five rooms, and a porch/outside area = 30 pts
- Successfully meeting series circuit minimum requirements = 20 pts
- Successfully meeting series circuit "chandelier" minimum requirements = 20 pts
- Successfully meeting parallel circuit minimum requirements = 40 pts
- Successfully meeting complex circuit minimum requirements = 40 pts
- 100 points
- Completion of post-project assessment (this is after the project is completed!)
