Grading

Course grading is based only completion and sophistication of the course project.

Points are earned through building the systems required to support the class project. You will work as a team, however the points you earn as an individual are determined by the product of the points for the work x your understanding of the work. Points for the work and your understanding for the work will be judged in an in-person interview taking ~20 mins during finals week, by class staff.

There are 4 buckets you can earn points in, based on the sophistication, quality and your understanding of the work.

The buckets are:

  1. Mobile Client
  2. API
  3. Database
  4. DevOps

You can earn a number of points per bucket per project based on your accomplishments in that domain.

Mobile Client

  • +1 point for having a mobile app than makes API calls
  • +1 point for a realistic worklflow that encompases all reasonable app features
  • +1 point for stunning UX with animated transitions or fantastic mapping features
  • +1 point for completion of BOTH driver and hailer sides of app (these can be one app with a bifurcated UX based on user-type)

API

  • +1 point for running server application
  • +1 point for database logic
  • +1 point for Swagger.io (or similar) self-generating API docs
  • +1 point for 3rd party API integration (e.g. sending SMS messages or Push Notifications)

Database

  • +1 point for having a database with a reasonable schema
  • +1 point for 2 or more collections or tables
  • +1 point for driver / user selfie images, captured on device + stored in the cloud
