Each week in Module 2, we will build a project together in class. For homework, you will build a second version of the same type of project. You'll be graded based on the effort you put into your homework, how much you experiment beyond the in-class version, and how well you present your work.

Effort

You are expected to develop a working project that is deployed to a live URL and functions correctly.

Points	Criteria
7	The site loads without errors, all features work as expected, and the project is built with a different topic/dataset than the one we used in class
5–6	The site loads but has minor issues — a broken layout at certain screen sizes, a feature that doesn't quite work, or incomplete data
3–4	The site is deployed but has significant problems — key features are broken, the data doesn't load, or large sections are incomplete
1–2	An attempt was made but the site does not load or is not deployed
0	No submission

Experimentation

You are expected to include something the in-class version did not have.

Points	Criteria
1	You added a feature, design element, or interactive component that goes beyond what we built together. This could be an extra filter, a different chart type, a custom design treatment, a new section, an animation — anything that shows initiative
0	The project closely follows the in-class version with only the topic/dataset changed

Presentation

You are expected to present your work in class, sharing what you built and demonstrating how you made it work.

Points	Criteria
2	Presented your project when asked, clearly explaining what you built and how it works
1	Presented your project but with limited explanation or clarity
0	Did not present when asked

Grading Scale

Each of your four projects is graded on the three components above. Your Module 2 grade is the average of those scores.

Points	Grade
10	A
9	A-
8	B+
7	B
5–6	B-/C+
3–4	C/C-
1–2	D
0	F
