Grading Rubric for Exams 1 • Mastering • M6 Correctly applied circuit laws to the conditions of the problem and correctly solved the ensuing equations. Work was logical and orderly. (100% - 95%) • M5 Got mostly correct results, but work could be better organized and documented. Used an inefficient method or overlooked an easier or simpler procedure. (95% - 85%)
Grading Rubric for Exams 2 • Developing • D4 Mostly used appropriate solution procedures, but made arithmetic, algebraic or organizational errors. (85% - 60%) • D3 Properly used the fundamental circuit laws, but missed one or more key concepts in setting up the problem’s solution. (60% - 40%)
Grading Rubric for Exams 3 • Emerging • E2 An earnest attempt made, but lacked proper use of KVL, KCL, Ohm’s Law or the Passive Sign Convention at significant stages of the problem.(40% to 20%) • E1 Did not make significant progress on the problem.(20% - 0%)
