A1 Feedback

I just finished the grading of the first assignment, and you should receive a feedback form soon. As I was working on the grading, I realized that there was a mismatch between the suggested structure of the assignment, and the grading criteria listed in the assignment description. If possible, I’d like to avoid regrading all of the assignments, but if you feel that yours was graded harshly, feel free to discuss it with me. Several students lost points because it was not clear how the data collected through surveys were incorporated into the assessment. I’m willing to consider amended assignments that discuss this aspect.
I’ve made some modifications to the assignment description, which hopefully will make it easier to avoid these problems next time. In particular, I’ve revised the guidelines for writing the evaluation, and changed the grading criteria to mach the points listed in those guidelines.

Paper Proposal Feedback

For the reviewer feedback, please select two paper proposals that you’d like to review by entering your name in one of the two columns “Feedback {1|2} Proposal” in the presentation schedule table on the Blackboard Wiki. Create a new page with your feedback, and link it to your name in the table. We’ll keep the feedback for the proposal informal; for the draft and final versions, I’ll have a template (it is posted on the Wiki; a link is at the bottom of the overview table for the paper and presentation). You should look at the following issues for the proposal:
  • Scope: Does the paper address a broad, general, or a narrow, specific topic? (Either way is fine, but it should be evident from the proposal)
  • Relevance: Does the proposed topic appear to be relevant for the overall context of this class?
  • Significance: How important is the work reported? Does it tackle an important/difficult problem (as opposed to a peripheral/simple one)?
  • Understandability: Do the title and abstract convey a sense of what the paper will be about?
  • Background: Is there an indication of existing and related work that appears to be relevant for the topic? Are references given to sources for that work?
