TERM-PROJECT GRADING CRITERIA

1. Your final report should include:

   • A copy of your text, including a full and correct reference to the source.

   • The syntax and semantics of the knowledge representation language you are using. This is very important! (See McDermott's Fallacy for more information.)

   • Your representation of the text.

   • Your representation of the background knowledge needed to fully understand the text. Also, please be careful to distinguish between the text itself and the background knowledge.

   The last two items should be annotated with discussion of difficulties, your reasons for various choices you had to make, etc.

   The report itself should be in the form of a conference-style paper (and not just a list of the 4 items above).

   If you are using this project to satisfy the CSE requirements for an MS project, you must also follow the guidelines in the Grad Handbook, Sect. 3.2.3.

2. Double space your final report! (See my Writing Guidelines for further mechanical details.)

3. PLEASE ATTACH YOUR PROGRESS REPORT TO YOUR FINAL PAPER

4. Tentative grading scheme:

   syntax/semantics:	25%
   annotated representation of text:	25%
   annotated representation of background knowledge:	25%
   overall report:	25%
