Suggested Scoring Rubric for the Projects

Python Scoring Rubric

Here is our suggested rubric for scoring on projects created with Python. Elements can be added or removed where necessary.

	Poor (1)	Average (2)	Good (3)
Hosting	Program not hosted anywhere.	Program not hosted on an accessible git server. Git commands unavailable for downloading project.	Project properly hosted on a publicly accessible git server. git clone <url> function pulls in a complete project.
README.md	No README.md found or contents of README.md file are irrelevant.	A rudimentary README.md file is included but fails to adequately cover how to run the program.	A README.md file is included with the project, fully describing its purpose and instructions to get the program to run.
Wiki	Wiki documentation not done.	Wiki documentation is rudimentary, and does not provide more guidance than that already found in the README.md file.	Wiki properly used to document additional background and usage of project with examples, notes on limitations, and other pieces of information.
Functionality	Program does not work.	Program mostly works and fulfils some requirements.	Program works and fulfils all requirements.
In-line Comments	None or irrelevant comments.	Inconsistent comments, but what is there is useful.	Clear comments that explain what the learner was trying to achieve.
Improvements	No improvements based upon the upstream project was made.	At least one area of improvement was made to the project based on the upstream project it is based on.	Project was improved upon above and beyond what was expected of the learner.
Elements	Included none of the following elements: Random function Variables Integers Input/Output Print While loops If/Else statements	Included some of the following elements: Random function Variables Integers Input/Output Print While loops If/Else statements	Included all of the following elements: Random function Variables Integers Input/Output Print While loops If/Else statements
Presentation	No clear explanation provided.	Presentation is mostly understandable, but missing crucial details that require further clarification.	Provides a clear and thorough explanation of the project such that no additional questions are required.

Additional scoring rubric for group efforts:

	Poor (1)	Average (2)	Good (3)
Bug Reports	No bug reporting ever used to address issues.	Bug reports filed, but lack actionable details.	Bug reports used to highlight important issues with proper debugging information for developers to attempt to duplicate.
Pull Requests	No usage of pull request feature.	Usage of pull request feature not done appropriately to address issues.	Proper use of pull request feature that allows improvements to the project efficiently.
Merge	No merging of branches or pull requests.	Improper merging of branches or pull requests resulting in faulty code.	Proper usage of merging of branches and pull requests that improves the main project branch without causing unexpected faults.
