Grading

The course assessment is designed to evaluate both your technical understanding of generative AI and your ability to apply these tools creatively and critically.

Grade Distribution

Detailed Assessment Criteria

Group Project (50%)

The group project has three components: content quality, presentation delivery, and collaborative effort.

Content Assessment

Option A: Industry Impact Research Essay

Grade A (90-100%)

• Consistent interviews covering main dissemination and impact of generative ai.
• Consistent perceptive and critical engagement with issues and themes based on comprehensive understanding of generative ai.
• The analysis, synthesis and application of knowledge is consistently clear and effective.

Grade B (80-89%)

• Generally completed interviews covering most of dissemination and impact of generative ai.
• Frequent perceptive and critical engagement with issues and themes based on general understanding of generative ai.
• The analysis, synthesis and application of knowledge is general clear and effective.

Grade C (70-79%)

• Barely completed interviews covering some dissemination and impact of generative ai.
• Some perceptive and critical engagement with issues and themes of generative ai.
• The analysis, synthesis and application of knowledge is mostly clear and effective.

Grade D (60-69%)

• Insufficient number of required interviews covering a few of dissemination and impact of generative ai.
• Occasional perceptive and critical engagement with issues and themes of generative ai but lacks depth.
• The analysis, synthesis and application of knowledge rarely goes beyond reproduction of relevant concepts and theories.

Grade F (Below 60%)

• Fail to conduct interviews.
• No critical engagement with issues and themes.
• Essay characterized by serious inaccuracies and misunderstandings of generative ai.

Option B: GenAI Workflow Design

Grade A (90-100%)

• Effective and executable generative ai workflow with novel functionalities.
• Consistent tech implementation and clear design philosophy based on comprehensive understanding of generative ai.

Grade B (80-89%)

• Executable generative ai workflow with general completed functionalities.
• Completed tech implementation and clear design philosophy based on general understanding of generative ai.

Grade C (70-79%)

• Executable generative ai workflow with unclear and ineffective functionality.
• Completed tech implementation and mostly clear design philosophy.

Grade D (60-69%)

• Inexecutable but complete generative ai workflow.
• Completed tech implementation but unclear design philosophy.

Grade F (Below 60%)

• Fail to deliver complete generative ai workflow.
• Incomplete tech implementation.
• Fail to deliver any reasonable design philosophy.

Presentation Assessment

Grade A (90-100%)

• The presentation provides an outline which clearly introduces the structure and a conclusion that clearly summarizes the main ideas/arguments.
• Transitions from one main idea/argument to the next are always clear to the listener.

Grade B (80-89%)

• The presentation provides an outline which introduces the structure and a conclusion that summarizes the main ideas/ arguments but one or both could be more comprehensive.
• The listener is always able to follow the development of the main arguments.

Grade C (70-79%)

• The presentation provides an outline which introduces the structure and/or a conclusion that summarizes the main ideas/ arguments.
• However, one or both may be insufficiently clear and/or lacking in enough detail.
• Transitions from one main idea/argument are mostly clear to the listener.

Grade D (60-69%)

• The presentation endeavours to provide an outline which introduces the structure of the presentation or a conclusion that summarizes the main ideas/ arguments, although one or both may be unclear and/or lack enough detail to be useful to the listener.
• Transitions from one main idea/argument are occasionally clear to the listener.

Grade F (Below 60%)

• There is no outline or conclusion.
• Transitions from one main idea/argument are unclear because of a lack of signaling.
• The listener is not able to follow the development of any of the main arguments.
