Effect on grade |
| Java source code files not submitted together in a zip file | 4 marks lost |
| Uses static methods (other than the main method) | Divide program functionality marks by two (rounded down)1 |
| Program consists of only a single class: | Divide program functionality marks by two (rounded down)1 |
1 These two penalties are cumulative so if a program was written using only one class and was full of static methods then the student's program functionality mark would quartered.
