Theoretical Background of Online Grading System

AC 2012-3467: THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ONLINE GRADING SYSTEM FOR DISTRIBUTED GRADING IN A LARGE FIRST-YEAR PROJECTBASED DESIGN COURSE

Prof. Mary Kathryn Thompson, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Mary Kathryn Thompson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). She is engaged in design research at the boundary, both within engineering and beyond, and is actively working on the development and application of formal design theories to civil, environmental, and urban engineering. She is also interested in non-traditional applications of the finite element method, especially for surface phenomena such as fluid sealing, thermal and electrical contact resistance, and friction and wear. Thompson is the Director of the KAIST Freshman Design Program, which earned her both the KAIST Grand Prize for Creative Teaching and the Republic of Korea Ministry of Education, Science and Technology Award for Innovation in Engineering Education in 2009. She also received the Grand Prize at the 2009 International Conference on Axiomatic Design Theory for her paper on the synthesis of formal design theories for traffic intersections. Thompson earned her B.S. (2002), M.S. (2004), and Ph.D. (2007) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Mechanical Engineering. Mr. Beunguk Ahn, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Beunguk Ahn is an undergraduate student in the Department of Computer Science at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. He is engaged in computer science research related to web content analysis, databases, and data mining. He is also interested in software engineering that integrates values from the humanities and social sciences with computer science. From 2008 to 2011, Ahn served as a teaching assistant and consultant for the KAIST Freshman Design Course. During this time, he helped to set up and run the...
