This is the grading rubric for Homework 3. The rubric does not provide specifics, but should give an idea of what a complete solution looks like and how different components are prioritized and weighted.
The assignment is out of a total of 40 points.
Rubric
General points will be deducted for the following:
- Late submission (10% per day);
- Untagged answers in Gradescope (10% penalty);
- Non-referenced consulted sources (penalty depending on severity).
Problem 1 (12 Points)
Problem 1.1 (3 points)
| Solution or histogram missing or unrelated to problem description. |
Wrong number of samples or distribution specified incorrectly. |
Histogram missing plotting elements (axis labels, units, etc, as appropriate) |
Problem 1.2 (5 points)
| Solution missing or does not seem related to the problem. |
Major errors in uncertainty propagation (e.g. wrong parameter or wrong distribution). |
No major errors in uncertainty propagation, but plot is missing or missing key requested elements. |
Minor problems with plot (missing labels, units, etc) and/or uncertainty propagation. |
Uncertainties propagated through model correctly and plot contains all requested elements. |
Problem 1.3 (4 points)
| Histogram missing or unrelated to problem description. |
Histogram missing plotting elements (axis labels, units, etc, as appropriate). |
Histogram is of wrong quantity. |
Sampling and histogram completed correctly but discussion of distributions is missing or unclear. |
Sampling and histogram completed correctly and clear comparison of distributions provided. |
Problem 2 (15 points)
Problem 2.1 (5 points)
| Solution not provided or does not seem related to the problem. |
Model developed but has major bugs which prevent it from implementing the equations. |
Model has minor bugs and/or is missing test. |
Model correctly implements equation and is tested. |
Problem 2.2 (5 points)
| Solution missing or unrelated to problem description. |
Model is evaluated using wrong temperature ensemble. |
Plot is missing but model evaluation is provided using the correct ensemble. |
Minor problems in model evaluation and/or plot. |
Problem 2.3 (5 points)
| Histogram missing or unrelated to problem description. |
Histogram missing plotting elements (axis labels, units, etc, as appropriate). |
Histogram is of wrong quantity. |
Sampling and histogram completed correctly but discussion is missing or unclear. |
Sampling and histogram completed correctly and clear discussion provided. |
Problem 3 (13 points)
Problem 3.1 (2 points)
| Solution not provided, incomplete, or does not seem related to the problem. |
Approach complete but unclear or contains small mistakes. |
Approach correctly and clearly describes steps. |
Problem 3.2 (3 points)
| Histogram missing or unrelated to problem description. |
Histogram missing plotting elements (axis labels, units, etc, as appropriate). |
Histogram is of wrong quantity. |
Sampling and histogram completed correctly. |
|
Problem 3.3 (5 points)
| Solution missing or unrelated to problem description. |
Wrong analysis framework used to assess probabilities (points based on severity of problem). |
Minor problem with probability analysis (e.g. wrong threshold, lack of unit conversion, etc). |
Analysis done correctly, possibly with comparison to reliability standard. |
Problem 3.4 (3 points)
| Solution missing or unrelated to problem description. |
Recommendation made but is not clearly based on the prior analysis. |
Recommendation made based on prior analysis but neglects other relevant information that might influence it. |
Discussion includes consideration of other potentially relevant information. |
