Total Score: ______ / 100

Criteria Breakdown

1. Application of OOP Principles: Evaluates the understanding and implementation of

OOP concepts like encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction.
2. Class and Object Design: Assesses the logical design of classes and objects in relation
to the problem domain.
3. Encapsulation and Modularity: Measures how well code is organized into modular,
cohesive units.
4. Inheritance and Reusability: Reviews the use of inheritance to promote code reusability
and minimize redundancy.
5. Polymorphism: Examines the use of polymorphism to create flexible and extensible
code.
6. Error Handling and Debugging: Focuses on the system's ability to handle errors
gracefully and its debugging strategies.
7. Code Readability and Documentation: Evaluates the clarity of the code and the quality
of comments or documentation.
8. Testing and Validation: Considers the comprehensiveness of testing performed and the
reliability of results.
9. Real-World Application: Reviews how well the project addresses practical, real-world
problems.
10. Presentation and Delivery: Assesses how effectively the project is communicated and
presented.
