We've seen that with the current evaluation guidelines, two instructors can have VERY different grading for the same presentation. This brought up the question whether the criteria is clear and objective enough to ensure that, a presentation should have very similar grading, regardless of the grader.

Some suggestions:

  1. Instructors should discuss the criteria between all instructors before the presentations (from @FredericoCoelhoNunes)
  2. We should have a point grading system with very specific guidelines on how to score each topic. At the moment, the grading criteria is generic and is the same for all Hackathons. The idea is to have something like, if they mention X number of requirements, then they'd receive X points. If they mention X, Y, Z, they should have a bonus point, etc. (e.g. example of Capstone grading criteria here)

There's one thing to have in mind:

  1. Presentation is very fast - only 4 minutes. If we were to have very detailed criteria, how difficult would it be to follow them and complete the grading within 4 mins?
