Assessment Criteria:

Note: A single table design will receive zero marks for all elements of the
assignment even if there is some functionality.

The following guidelines indicate the standard that will be expected for each grade.
Each demonstration will be assessed individually and weaknesses in some areas
maybe compensated by strengths in other areas.

All members of the group must participate in the demonstration. Group members may
be awarded different marks depending on the quality of the contribution to the
demonstration. Marks will also be adjusted to reflect peer assessment.

Grade A+
An almost professional solution with all issues addressed in full. Excellent design and
implementation and explanations demonstrate a thorough understanding of the
problem and the features used.

Grade A
Demonstrates an excellent understanding of the problem. The ERM model will be
implementable and any errors and/or omissions will be minor. The database will be
implemented to a high standard of functionality and will be appropriately normalised.
Advanced data modelling features will be used and there will be some use of PL/SQL.
Queries will have been attempted and all or most queries will function. Other
elements to a high standard. Documentation will be to a high standard. The group
will be able to discuss their implementation at demonstration and will be able to
explain to describe the way in which they have attempted the project.

Grade B+
Demonstrates a good understanding of the problem. The ERM model will be
implementable and errors and/or omissions will be minor. The database will function
and will be appropriately normalised although with some errors and/or omissions.
Advanced data modelling features will be used. PL/SQL will be used but with some
errors or omissions. Queries will have been attempted and most queries will function.
Other elements attempted and generally satisfactory. Documentation will be
satisfactory. The group will be able to discuss their implementation at demonstration
and will be able to explain to describe the way in which they have attempted the
project.

Grade B
Demonstrates satisfactory understanding of the problem. The ERM model will be
implementable although with some errors and/or omissions. The database will
function and will be appropriately normalised although with some errors and/or
omissions. Queries will have been attempted and the majority of queries will function.
Most other elements attempted although with errors and/or omissions are satisfactory.
Documentation will be adequate. The group will be able to discuss their
implementation at demonstration and will be able to explain to describe the way in
which they have attempted the project.

Grade C+
Demonstrates adequate understanding of the problem. The ERM model will be
implementable although with errors and/or omissions. The database will function
although with some errors and/or omissions. Most data will be in 3NF but there may
be some normalisation issues. Queries will have been attempted and some queries will
function. Most other elements attempted although with errors and/or omissions.
Documentation will be adequate but explanations may be limited.

Grade C
Demonstrates some understanding of the problem. The ERM model will be
implementable although with errors and/or omissions. The database will function
although with some errors and/or omissions. Most data will not be in 3NF and there
may be some normalisation issues. Queries will have been attempted and some
queries will not function. Most other elements attempted although with errors and/or
omissions. Documentation will be lacking in explanations.

Grade D
Demonstrates limited understanding of the problem. The ERM model will not cover
major aspects of the scenario. The database will function but will have major errors
and/or omissions. Queries may not have been attempted or limited queries have been
produced. Other elements may be limited or not satisfactory. Documentation may be
limited or not to a satisfactory standard. Explanations will be limited but sufficient to
demonstrate that the group understands the work that has been submitted.

Grade D- (Marginal Fail)

Demonstrates quite limited understanding of the problem. The ERM model will not
cover major aspects of the scenario. The database will function but will have major
errors and/or omissions. Queries may not have been attempted or very limited queries
have been produced. Other elements may be quite limited or not satisfactory.
Documentation may be limited or not to a suitable standard. Explanations will be
very limited but sufficient to demonstrate that the group understands the work that has
been submitted.

Grade F (Fail)
Demonstrates poor understanding of the problem. The ERM model will be not be
implementable. The database may have limited functionality with major errors and/or
omissions. Queries may not have been attempted or very limited queries. Other
elements not attempted or not satisfactory. Documentation very limited or not to an
acceptable standard. Explanations will be limited and not sufficient to demonstrate
that the group understands the work that has been submitted.

Zero marks will be awarded for non submission, single table implementation or
insufficient explanations to demonstrate that the group understands the work that has
been submitted.
