Modeling and design of experiments

Distribution of weight among various components

The distribution of weight among various components of the project evaluation is crucial to ensure a balanced assessment that captures both individual and group contributions.

1. Individual Oral Exam: (30%)

   • Evaluate each student's understanding of the project, their contributions, and the ability to articulate insights gained from the sensitivity analysis.
   • Assess individual engagement, comprehension of statistical concepts, and the application of experimental design principles.
   
   

2. Group Final Report: (35%)

   • Consider the overall quality of the final report, including the depth of the sensitivity analysis, clarity of presentation, and the coherence of findings.
   • Assess the team's ability to integrate feedback, iterate on the initial analysis, and draw meaningful conclusions.
   • Evaluate the collaborative effort in compiling a comprehensive and well-structured document.
   
   

3. Group Intermediary Report: (20%)

   • Evaluate the clarity and completeness of the intermediary report, focusing on the progress made in the initial stages of the project.
   • Assess the team's ability to communicate their approach, identify challenges, and present preliminary findings.
   • Consider the alignment of the intermediary report with the project plan outlined in the early weeks.
   
   

4. Review of Another Group's Intermediary Report: (15%)

   • Assess the quality and depth of the feedback provided to another group's intermediary report.
   • Consider the constructive nature of the feedback, its relevance to the project, and the potential impact on the receiving group's work.
   • Encourage critical thinking and the ability to provide insightful suggestions for improvement.
