The grade will be determined by the quality of the design as evidenced by the documentation and the presentation. Team members will be asked to assess the individual contributions of others on the team; if an individual team member is found to have contributed little to the effort, their score will be adjusted. An approximate breakdown of the scoring is as follows:

Checkpoint	10 points
