    Impeccable craftsmanship, comparable to that of a professional assembly
    B.
    No spelling or grammatical errors anywhere in any document, upon first submission to instructor
    95 %

    (Must meet or exceed these criteria in addition to all criteria for 90% and below)

    A.
    Technical explanation sufficiently detailed to teach from, inclusive of every component (supersedes 75.B)
    B.
    Itemized parts list complete with part numbers, manufacturers, and (equivalent) prices for all components, including recycled components and parts kit components (supersedes 90.A)
    90 %

    (Must meet or exceed these criteria in addition to all criteria for 85% and below)

    A.
    Itemized parts list complete with prices of components purchased for the project, plus total price

    No spelling or grammatical errors anywhere in any document upon final submission
    85 %

    (Must meet or exceed these criteria in addition to all criteria for 80% and below)

    A.
    “User’s guide” to project function (in addition to 75.B)
    B.
    Troubleshooting log describing all obstacles overcome during development and construction
    80 %

    (Must meet or exceed these criteria in addition to all criteria for 75% and below)

    A.
    All controls (switches, knobs, etc.) clearly and neatly labeled
    B.

    70 %

    (Must meet or exceed these criteria in addition to all criteria for 65%)

    A.
    All wire connections sound (solder joints, wire-wrap, terminal strips, and lugs are all connected properly)
    B.
    No use of glue where a fastener would be more appropriate
    C.
    Deadline met for submission of fully-functional project (Date/Time = / ) - supersedes 75.C if final project submitted by that (earlier) deadline
    65 %

    (Must meet or exceed these criteria in addition to all criteria for 60%)

    A.
    Project fully functional
    B.
    All components securely fastened so nothing is “loose” inside the enclosure

    (Must meet or exceed these criteria in addition to being safe and legal)

    A.
    Project minimally functional, with all components located inside an enclosure (if applicable)
    B.
    Passes final safety inspection (proper case grounding, line power fusing, power cords strain-relieved)
    0 % (If any

    of the following conditions are true)

    A.

    B.
    Intended project function poses a safety hazard
