Programming Project Rubric Name Total Score Meets all requirements & runs

0 pts (more than 1 requirement missing, program crashes, or will not compile).

5 pts (missing 1 requirement as listed on project requirements sheet)

10 pts (all requirements met and runs with no errors)

0 pts (missing one or more of the design document components)

5 pts (Documents turned in, but contain spelling errors, grammar errors, or incomplete responses to program elements)

10 pts (Documents are error free and word processed, descriptions include extensive detail)

0 pts Project software not available during grading conference

10 pts Project available during grading conference

4. No fatal runtime errors or runtime bugs

0 pts (contains more than 1 run time bug or error).

5 pts (contains 1 run time bug or error)

10 pts (all requirements met and runs with no errors)

0 pts (contains more than one of the following: spelling errors, grammar errors, object named incorrectly, extra objects, etc.).

5 pts (contains one of the following: spelling error, grammar error, object named incorrectly, extra object, etc.)

10 pts (program contains no errors attributable to simple mistakes or oversights. Spelling, grammar, object names, choice of objects, object alignment, etc. all checked)

0 pts (GUI suffers from more than one of the following: visually distracting objects, clashing colors, inconsistent graphical components, poor alignment, sizing or spacing, non-standard software interface conventions)

5 pts (GUI suffers from only one of the following: visually distracting objects, clashing colors, inconsistent software components, poor alignment, sizing or spacing, non-standard software interface conventions)

10 pts (GUI satisfies all of the following: visually attractive objects, compatible colors, consistent software components, great alignment, sizing and spacing, standard software interface conventions followed)

0 pts (Code contains more than one of the following: undefined variables, procedures or functions without adequate documentation or description)

5 pts (Code contains one of the following: undefined variables, procedures or functions without adequate documentation or description)

10 pts (Code contains the following: all variables defined and commented, procedures and functions adequately documented and described)

0 pts (Concepts from class are not applied to the program)

5 pts (Concepts from class are applied, however, code contains unused VB elements ->variables, procedures etc. , code has flow which is jumpy, ‘spaghetti’, programmer patches were applied, or code contains unnecessary statements)

10 pts (Concepts from class are applied, Code is straight forward, consistent, logic uses the most direct approach available in VB and does not rely on programmer patches)

Students who earn less than 70 points will need to resubmit their software with a 10% penalty after they correct the problems outlined above and can prove they understand the material covered in this unit.

+2 pts Design document

(Documents are error free and word processed, descriptions include extensive detail and technology is used to enhance the Design document)
+2 pts Code is commented (Comments are clear, well thought out and clearly describe the VB component: variables defined, procedures/functions described fully)
+3 pts Graphical User Interface (GUI meets the following with a high degree of attention to detail: visually focused, colors compliment, consistent throughout software components, follows standard software interface conventions)
+3 pts Best use of visual basic language (Concepts from class are applied in an integrated and elegant fashion, code is efficient and as streamlined as possible)

To Earn an A:

+5 pts Embellishment (Project embellishment shows extra work, challenges the student’s programming ability, is useful to the program and is well executed)
