1	Overall Impression		Misleading; confusing; too much or too little	A few missing, redundant, or irrelevant parts		Accurate; reasonable; easy to read;
2	Identifier Names		Meaningless or misleading names	Some poor choices. Most identifiers explained where appropriate.		Meaningful identifier names [some single letter names are OK, such as i,j for indices]. Explanations of identifiers where appropriate.
3	Indentation; White Space		Misleading indentation; too much or too little white space	Some inconsistencies; some inadequate or wasted space		Consistent indentation; good use of white space
4	External Documentation		No external documentation when some is needed. External documentation not useful, confusing, out of date, or misleading	Adequate external documentation [javadoc; user manual, as necessary]. Someone else could work with this program with a little help from the original programmer(s).		External doc. as appropriate; [javadoc & user documentation where appropriate]. Someone else could work with this program based on code and documentation alone.
5	Logical Blocks		Few or no logical blocks documented	Most logical blocks documented		Documentation for each function and loop and logical block
