Judging/Handbook
Previously, the judging handbook was released a few weeks before the Jamboree and judges and iGEMers alike would find out late in the season how they were being evaluated. Materials were provided late in the season as that was the timing of iGEM and projects. Because timing was so late for the release of materials, iGEMers did not have much time to improve their projects in response to the case studies authored by the Executive and Judging Advisory committees.
Our hope is that by releasing the judging materials much earlier than in previous years, iGEMers can learn how they could be evaluated and judges will have ample time to familiarize themselves with materials well before we assign teams.
The iGEM judging handbook will be updated and revised for the 2016 season. In the mean time, please see the 2015 version for information on judging and evaluation:
