Assessment Lab Plan

Individual Project Details

Due: 18 April 2027

Grading rubric

Details:
- A project similar to the samples available here Doorbell Sample
- Or enhance an existing sample.
Expected outcome:
- The source code should be hosted in your individual assignment repository on GitHub.
- An md file, on github, presenting the project results, similar to: Doorbell Sample
  - With at least the following sections:
    - Overview - present in short the idea.
    - Schematics Plan - the plan schema built using CircuitCanvas, or something similar.
    - Pre-requisites - the list of needed components.
    - Setup and Build Plan - the setup plan containing what we have already as done and what we plan to do next.
    - A short video presenting the results, uploaded to the MS Teams assignment, with the demo. Please capture how the components are connected and how everything is working.
    - A complete page (on GitHub) similar to Doorbell Sample with all the sections filled.

Team Project Details

Due: 16 May 2027

Grading rubric

Details:
- A team of up to 3 students to tackle a real-world problem.
  - Choose an existing project proposed by the lab instructor.
  - Define a new one, together with the lab instructor.
Expected outcome:
- The source code should be hosted in your individual assignment repository on GitHub.
- An md file, on github, presenting the project results, similar to Doorbell Sample
- A short video presenting the results, uploaded to the MS Teams assignment, with the demo. Please capture how the components are connected and how everything is working.
- A companion mobile application to manage the IoT application.
- A file named: teamGrades.txt in your Solo GitHub project repository, containing the proposed grades for the other team members
  - The file should have the following columns:
    - Student Name - Please use the student full name.
    - Proposed Grade - The grade that you think the student should receive. Please use integer values from [0-10] range.
    - Grade Details - Notes to justify the proposed grade.
- In the last laboratory, or if the team leader consider that the team is ready quicker, we will evaluate the work and the whole team will receive an grade (TeamProjectGrade).
- Using TeamProjectGrade together with the grades from each teamGrades.txt file we will compute a grade for each member. Using a formula like: MemberTeamGrade = TeamProjectGrade * avg(teamGrades.txt)/10.

Final Grade

You will receive a final grade only if you presented the work at the laboratory and successfully submitted the details for both the individual and the team project in the MsTeam assignments.
Final Grade = IndividualGrade * 0.6 + TeamGrade * 0.4
If Final Grade < 4.5 or the presences criteria are not meet, than in order to receive a grade you will need to attend the exam in the re-examination session.
