Proposed Laboratory Rubric — 100 Points
| Criterion | Weight | What You Assess |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Laboratory preparation | 10% | Student arrives knowing the objective, circuit/system, required equations, components, and basic procedure. |
| 2. Experimental implementation | 20% | Correct assembly, wiring/programming, instrument configuration, appropriate measurement procedure, and safe use of equipment. |
| 3. Results and measurements | 15% | Obtains coherent experimental data, records units and conditions correctly, identifies anomalous measurements, and repeats measurements when necessary. |
| 4. Interpretation and technical reasoning | 20% | Explains why the observed behavior occurs and connects experimental results with theory rather than merely reporting values. |
| 5. Live technical defense | 20% | Answers questions about the circuit, code, equations, measurements, or procedure individually and without AI assistance. |
| 6. Live modification / troubleshooting | 10% | Makes a small modification requested by the instructor and predicts/explains its effect. |
| 7. Laboratory record / brief report | 5% | Provides concise evidence: measurements, calculations, plots, observations, and conclusions. |
| Total | 100% |
Performance Scale
A simple four-level scale would make grading during the laboratory practical:
| Level | Description | Score |
|---|---|---|
| 4 — Excellent | Performs independently, explains decisions correctly, detects problems, and relates results to theory. | 90–100% |
| 3 — Competent | Performs correctly with minor errors or limited assistance; explanation demonstrates adequate understanding. | 75–89% |
| 2 — Developing | Completes part of the task but requires substantial assistance or cannot fully explain the implementation/results. | 60–74% |
| 1 — Insufficient | Cannot perform essential procedures or demonstrate understanding of the submitted work. | 0–59% |
Important Assessment Rule
The report should not compensate for an inability to demonstrate understanding in person.
Authenticity requirement: A student who cannot explain or modify the submitted circuit, program, analysis, or experimental procedure during the individual defense cannot receive more than 70/100 for the laboratory activity, regardless of the quality of the submitted documentation.
