Each cell is the already-weighted contribution of that component. The last column is the KAIST equivalence. Cells stay Pending until the grades are loaded.
A total is the average of A1 Preparation & Reading (/100), A2 Participation & Review (/100) and A3 Attendance (/100), then scaled to 10%. A1/A2 are typed directly in docs/data.js; A3 is computed automatically from the attendance calendar below (percentage of recorded classes attended).
B1 Pop-up Quizzes (10%, average of quizzes /100) + B2 Team Discussion & Critical Engagement (10%, /100). All sub-columns live in docs/data.js.
C1 Analytical Assignments (10%, avg of C1.1, C1.2 /100) + C2 Partial Project Submissions (10%, avg of C2.1–C2.4 /100). All sub-columns live in docs/data.js.
D1 Problem–Demand Validation (10%, /100) + D2 Problem–Demand Validation Reflection (10%, /100), entered directly as instructor scores in docs/data.js.
E1 Requirements & Solution Direction (10%, /100) + E2 Initial High-Level Solution Architecture (10%, /100) + E3 Reflection & ITTP Handoff (10%, /100), entered directly as instructor scores in docs/data.js.
