Solution #1
He should have come up with a guideline to begin with and give the students certain options along with a rubric that guides the assessment as well as the grading criteria. Once students are done and have turned in the project it is usually too late.

Solution #3
Mr. Smith should use a rubric that is specifically designed to look at and measure the content within the project. By doing this each student is graded on a level playing field and can even grade their peers. That way they can judge the content and compare it to their own.
