Web pages (URL addresses) filled with title, group names and outline are due April 17.

The projects are to be completed in full by April 24 Grading will be peer-based -- each group will evaluate and score each other's work.

The grading scheme is described below. Scores are to be emailed (or personally handed) to Jarrett by May 1.  

The projects will be reviewed and evaluated by every student in Astro 3. Rate the project on scoring scale ranging from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest (see below). Use the criteria given below as a guide to the final evaluation score. Do not evaluate your own project (i.e., do not submit a score of your own work). Use the form that I will provide for you to mark your scores (and email to me when you have finished).

What to look for:

Is the topic relevant to Life in the Universe?

Is it novel and interesting (i.e., presentation is not just a rehash of what I have been saying throughout the term) ?

Informative? (e.g., lots of good links; did you learn something new?)

Aesthetically pleasing? (i.e., did the group make an effort to "present" their page?)

How to score:

1 == poor
2 == ok, but not a lot of effort
3 == average
4 == good (satisfies all or nearly all of the criteria)
5 == outstanding work

You may use decimal scoring (e.g., "4.5" rates between good and outstanding)
