Grading
Translation Product: 55% The translation will be marked out of 100, according to the marking scheme used for all other translation assignments and tests in this course. Your mark for the translation will then be weighted so that it represents 55% of your final mark for the project. (For instance, a mark of 80% on the translation would equal 44/55). All group members will receive the same mark for the translation.

Translation process: 45% The other 45% of your mark will be based on your individual contribution to the project and your reflections on the translation process. This part of your mark will be based on three factors: 1) a 1-2 page (double-spaced) individual report in which you describe your role in the project, 2) a 5-7 minute group/partner oral presentation about the translation experience and 3) my analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of your final translation. For instance, if the translation is idiomatic, contains no spelling or grammar errors, and is written in a consistent register and style, but much of the terminology is incorrect, then the person responsible for the terminology research would receive a lower mark than those responsible for the translation and revision. If all group members contributed to all aspects of the project (e.g. terminology, translation, revision), then the individual marks for each member will be very similar.
