GROUP WORK OK

Hand in your assignment to the assignment boxes on the second floor of the Math Sciences Building near the elevators. Place your assignment in the box marked with your lab section and TA's name.

General Marking Criteria:

IMPORTANT NOTE: if there is any evidence that you did not do your own work on an assignment, an 'F' will be assigned for the work in question and both the CPSC Department Head and Dean of Science will be informed in writing.

 

A program that does not produce correct output is considered to be a non-working program. A program that doesn't work cannot receive a passing grade.

 

A mark of 'C' does NOT mean there was anything wrong with your work... 'C' means average.

 

All Assignments require at least some explanation and discussion. You will be marked on your technical writing style and your ability to communicate as well as on content. Documentation must be professional; style must be readable, and correct (proof-read your work!!!). You are responsible for the adequate testing of all your programs (even if you are only required to hand in the final results). It will be assumed that intermediate testing has been performed.

 

0= assignment not handed in (no reasonable effort will receive a '0')

F= major errors:

programs that don't compile

serious logic errors

failure to follow assignment specifications (i.e. without prior written approval from the T.A.)

D= less serious errors -or- unacceptable submission

numerous smaller logic errors

unjustified deviations from assignment specifications

minimal effort

programs that do not produce correct output or one that is inadequately tested (working or not)

undocumented programs (working or not)

on a discussion paper: containing too many grammatical or spelling errors

: unprofessional style

: poorly organized

C= acceptable program: AVERAGE effort

program works

clean; reasonable; acceptable documentation;

on a discussion paper: complete, correct, comprehensible, professional

B= above average: a well considered solution; well explained; clean code; efficient

A= excellent: well done; good writing; has some nice extras;
