Re: Middle School Mindstorms Class Help

We were wondering how we would administer a "mid-term exam and final exam grade" and I like your idea of testing how well a robot completes the task. Unfortunately we cannot grade the entire class this way as we need to count behavior and completion of hw assignments too.

I'd propose you have a series of challenges, not necessarily related to one another, with points available for each one. Students would then optimize their grade by picking which challenges to do. Your midterm grades would then be a snapshot of where they were at that point. You could also make it clear that effort and behavior count for X%.
Not sure why you'd do homework since this is such a self-paced hands-on class. If you really had to do so I guess they could write reports, create brochures or do presentations on some robotics/engineering topic.
