Project Peer Grading

Every student will be assigned 3 projects at random to review. For this reason, it is mandatory for you to attend the class on June 5th. You need to write your reviews latest by June 6th (there are no late days allowed).

Your review will consist of a grade and a review. Note that the reviews are anonymous, so the project members will not know who you are (so do not put your name in your review).

Grade

Based on the presentation instructions, decide a grade for the project, keeping in mind the expectations and the instructions given (Project Presentation). Try to grade primarily on the completeness of the project presentation, not its interestingness, novelty, coolness etc (save that for the review).

A+ (32 points): Goes beyond the requirements of the presentation
A   (30 points): Meets all requirements of the presentation
A-  (28 points): Almost met all the requirements, maybe lacking in minor ways (e.g. described dataset but no statistics)
B+ (25 points): Met most of the requirements (and lacking in minor ways), or met almost all (but lacking in major ways e.g. missing results)
B   (22 points): Met most of the requirements, but lacking in major ways
B-  (20 points): Met maybe half of the requirements, but clear that presentation is significantly lacking
C   (10 points): There was a presentation, but did not address most of the requirements
F   (0 points): There was no presentation

Extra work: Keep in mind that some groups are 3 people, and thus you should judge whether the extra work presented is sufficiently more or not.

Review

You also have to write a peer review for the project. This is more of the description of the problem and the idea of the project, not only the progress on the project so far.

• Strengths: In 2-3 sentences, what are the main strengths of the project and the presentation.
• Weaknesses: In 2-3 sentences, what was lacking?
• Suggestions: In 2-3 sentences, give me a few suggestions for the project. The suggestions can be about the classifier, features, data preprocessing, evaluation metrics, ideas for analysis, etc. Is there something the team should try to include in the final report?

Note that all three of these are compulsory for every review, i.e. you cannot say "there were no weaknesses".

Submission Instructions

The "submission" for the review will be through the "Peer Grading" feature of Canvas. For each of your three assignments, leave a comment starting with a grade, and a single comment that includes the three aspects of your review (strengths, weaknesses, and suggestions).
