Objective

This document is written to help CampusConnect partner colleges understand andeffectively implement the Integrated Project asa part of Foundation Program (FP) 3.0.

Target Readers

The target readers of this document areCampus Connect College Single Point ofContact (s), College Core Team members and

Faculty members associated with FP rolloutand hence Integrated Project development.

Background

Campus Connect is an Infosys industry-academia partnership program aimed atenhancing the IT talent in College Campuses.Foundation Program 3.0 is the latest versionreleased under Campus Connect. Integrated

Project Development is an essential andintegral part of Foundation Program 3.0Rollout.Campus Connect has introduced usage ofRubrics Methodology for Integrated Project

Assessments. Rubrics are a well known tool toset up grading criteria for assignments. A rubricchart is a scoring tool that lists the criteria forthe varying levels of performance on a task, orprogram characteristic where more objectivemethods of rating are not appropriate.

Campus Connect team has used Rubrics togenerate a customized evaluation chart forassessing the Integrated Project Developmentunder Foundation Program.

Rubrics Methodology forIntegrated Project Evaluation

Campus Connect has used two differentaspects in evaluating the students

performance in Integrated ProjectDevelopment. These two aspects are namely,Project Development and Soft Skills. The

Project development aspect focuses on thedeliverables, quality of development work andthe technology features. On the other hand,Soft Skills aspect concentrates on the life skillsof the team members and demonstration of thesame during Integrated Project development.The rubric methodology has four levels:Excellent, Competent, Scope for Improvementand Needs Efforts. These levels apply to theseveral evaluation parameters and expecteddeliverables in the Integrated Project

Development. For each parameter there is abrief written description of the different levels ofperformance based on performance criteria.They are constructed by combiningdescriptions of different qualities ofperformance. Each set of descriptions reflectsa different level of performance on thatevaluation parameter. The Project assessorsand / or Faculty members use thesedescriptions to determine their level ofaccomplishment on each evaluation parameter.The scale ratings are as

Needs Efforts ( No Efforts taken)

Scope for Improvement (0-50 percent

results achieved)

Competent (50-75 percent results

achieved)

Excellent (75-100 percent results

achieved)

ELEVEN evaluation parameters for ProjectDevelopment and FIVE evaluation parametersfor Soft skills aspects have been formulated.These evaluation parameters are categorizedin FOUR different buckets - Design Work, CodeDevelopment, Project Deployment and SoftSkills. The consolidated list of theseparameters with the weight-age associated witheach is described in the following section.Integrated Project development carries 100

Marks.

Using Rubrics

The Rubrics methodology is used for IntegratedProject assessment.

1. Rubrics chart is to be used for three

different types of evaluations

a. Self EvaluationEach student will

self assess the scores as per the

evaluation parameters

b. Peer EvaluationOne student in a

project group assesses the

performance of other student in thesame group.

c. Expert EvaluationFaculty

members assess the students as

per the Rubrics

2. The Self and Peer evaluation is to be done

to understand how individuals work has

contributed to Integrated Project

development.

3.

Final Score to be calculated as per theExpert/Faculty Assessment scores.

Rubrics for performingevaluation

MS Excel 97-2003 version has been used for

designing project evaluation template. It haspre-defined evaluation parameters and scaleratings defined as per the tabularrepresentation above. The evaluation containssome calculated cell as per the evaluationparameter weight-ages and student ratings.Below is a snapshot of evaluation sheet forquick understanding.

The evaluation sheet has following columns:

Evaluation Parameter, Scale Description,Parameter Description, Parameter Weight-age,

Student Rating and Student Score. Out ofthese, Evaluation Parameter, Scale

Description, Parameter Description, ParameterWeight-age contain pre-defined values as perthe evaluation parameter. The Student Scorecolumn is auto calculated and hence is non-editable. The evaluator has to select the ratingfrom the drop down list for the respectiveevaluation parameter on the basis of the matchwith Parameter Description. The possible scaleratings are

Needs Efforts

Scope for Improvement

Competent

Excellent

The evaluator has to rate each student for allthe evaluation parameters as per the abovescale. The chart auto-calculates the final scoreat the bottom of the sheet only after allparameters are rated. Refer to the picturebelow to understand how the ratings can be

recorded.

Steps to record Student ratings

1. Enter the Students roll number in the top cell.

2. Select the rating for each evaluation parameter by selecting the appropriate option using the

drop-down.

Note: Refer to the evaluation guidelines sheet to understand the expected deliverables and itsmapping to ranks.

3. Complete the rating process for all evaluation parameters. This will auto-calculate the totalscoring for the student assessed

4. Repeat the steps 1-3 for every student to be assessed.

Extending the chart for large

number of studentsThis can be done by simply adding theadditional number of columns after column Q.Please follow the steps below:

1. Select Column D to Column Q2. Right-Click on selection and Press

Ctrl+C3. Now move cursor to column R and

Press Ctrl+V

This will create evaluation columns foradditional FIVE students. Following the abovesteps ensures that the auto calculation isenabled for the newly created columns. Thesesteps can be repeated to facilitate evaluationfor more number of students in one sheet.

Note: Another way of extending the chart forlarge number of students is to use one sheetper Project Group.

Points to Remember

1. The Integrated Project Evaluation is to becarried out by using the pre-definedparameters only.

2. It has to be done in Soft Copy only (NOPrints please). This evaluation sheet is a

part of closure report to be submitted at thecompletion of a batch.3. The evaluation process includes Self, Peer

and Expert/Faculty evaluation.4. Only Expert/Faculty evaluation is

considered for calculating the final scores.

Advantages of using Rubrics

for Project EvaluationThere are comprehensive advantages ofusing Rubric methodology for IntegratedProject Evaluation chart. These are asfollows:

The sheet is designed in such a waythat it provides minimum key-presses.Hence provides Ease of Usage.

Auto-calculation of score is provided.

This reduces the time required togenerate final report significantly.

The User Interface is clean andextensible.

The sheets can be easily extended toaccommodate large number of scores.

Usage of these sheetsensures appropriate usage ofevaluation framework.
