Checklist for evaluating assignments

The following is used to make an initial check of basics in the graph of the students assignment. There is also some basic check of the text associated with the graph. This is a summary of what has been taught at the lectures

• Unity. Does each description have one and only one basic thesis (central idea) that is clearly distinguishable
• Grammar. Is it very clear what is the grammar/legend of the descriptions
• Relationships. Are all relationships explicitly and clearly defined. Either as a general dimension in the graph (like a time dimension when there are steps) or as signed links (a word for every link)
• Which relationships are selected. Is only the most relevant relationship that conforms to the general dimension selected?
• Balance. Is it possible to clearly distinguish how large parts of the description are related to other parts and is each part in enough detail. There should be neither too little detail or too much detail
• Omitted information. Do you miss some information when you read the description that makes you wonder what is meant by it.
• Contribution. A good description may be perceived as common sense, but it is very important that there is a considerable contribution in hte description. Is there really a clear and distinguishable contribution of knowledge where is obvious that this is knowledge that most readers do not know.
• Stand alone. Is it possible to read the description and understand it without going deep into the text under it. It should be possible to understand it just by reading some short lines of text associated with the description and its headers.
• Title. Is there a good single one line title that explains the basics of the description.
• Consistency. Is there an explicit consistency with one single perspective or explicit relationships between several perspectives in the description.
