Abstract
Capstone projects in computer science are in the scrutiny of wide range of subjectivity because students are mostly unaware about the details of the evaluation process. The authors have attempted to mitigate subjectivity by classifying the types of capstone projects and introducing new evaluation model to evaluate them. Paper provides a rubric for each identified category for assigning a grade with a standard scale. The views have been sought out from professors of seven international universities. The results are reported and critically analyzed on each factor that is presented in the paper.
