Final Project - Coursera: Problem Identification

This document outlines a rubric for evaluating students' final projects in a computational thinking course. It assesses several elements of computational thinking processes used in the projects, including identifying the problem and location, decomposing problems, recognizing patterns, abstraction, and depicting an algorithm. Points are assigned based on how fully and logically the student explains and applies these elements in their project justification document and graphic organizer. The highest scores go to projects that comprehensively address all aspects of identifying and solving the problem using computational thinking methods in a way suitable for a computer-based solution.

Background and Context Statement


0 pts

The location and natural disaster are not described

1 pt

Either the location OR the natural disaster is described, but not both

2 pts

Both the location AND the natural disaster are described

Problem Identification
Was the identified problem adequately explained in their project justification
document? Did the learner identify a problem in their graphic organizer?

Choose the rubric level that best describes problem identification in their project:

0 pts

The project justification document does not provide an adequate explanation of


how they arrived at their problem identification.
A problem is NOT identified in the graphic organizer.

at their problem identification.
A problem is identified in the graphic organizer.

Decomposition

Abstraction is identified in the graphic organizer.

2 pts

The project justification document adequately explains how abstraction helped


solve the identified problem.
Abstraction is identified in the graphic organizer.

Algorithm Depiction
Did the learner identify an algorithm and incorporate the elements from the
computational thinking process in their graphic organizer?

Choose the rubric level that best describes algorithm depiction in their project:

2 pts

Algorithm is depicted, but it does NOT incorporate any of the elements from
the computational thinking process (problem identification, decomposition,
pattern recognition, abstraction).

The algorithm features significant logical fallacies, and it relies on subjective


questions that are likely unanswerable by a computer.

4 pts

Algorithm is depicted, and it incorporates 1 of the 4 elements from the


computational thinking process (problem identification, decomposition,
pattern recognition, abstraction).

The algorithm features some logical fallacies, and there are subjective questions
that are likely not suited for a computer-based solution.

6 pts

Algorithm is depicted, and it incorporates 2 of the 4 elements from the


computational thinking process (problem identification, decomposition,
pattern recognition, abstraction).

The algorithm is mostly logical, and it is well suited for a computer-based


solution.

8 pts

Algorithm is depicted, and it incorporates 3 of the 4 elements from the


computational thinking process (problem identification, abstraction,
decomposition, pattern recognition).

The algorithm is logical, and it is well-suited for a computer based solution.
