CPSC 219: Assignment 2 (Marking Key)

    Your score Max score

Coding style (marks independent of program functionality)

    
 
  • General style conventions followed (properly aligned source code & appropriate whitespace, good naming, simple expressions, methods implement 1 task and not exceed 1 screen in length): 0 = never, 6 = sometimes, 12 = always
   12
 
  • Information hiding/encapsulation employed appropriately
   3
 
  • Attributes and methods are logical to the class definition
   5
 
  • Each class consists of at least 2 methods (except the Driver & Mode class)
   6
 
  • Static variables employed (unless otherwise allowed, debugging flag excluded)
   -4
 
  • The code for the 3 classes are not included in its own file: -3 marks for each class not in it's own file

Documentation (marks independent of program functionality)

    
 
  • Header documentation includes full name and tutorial section
  3
 
  • Some form of versioning system is demonstrated in the header documentation
   2
 
  • Each function/method is documented (similar to documentation for the entire program but applies only to that function/method)
   10
 
  • Overall program limitations documented
   1
 
  • Overall program features documented
   6

Functionality (only qualify for these marks if the program runs: note some features obviously requires other features to be implemented before credit will be granted)

    
 
  • Able to quit game
   2
 
  • Debug mode employed
   6
 
  • Biosphere case 1 properly handed
   2
 
  • Biosphere case 2 properly handed
   4
 
  • Biosphere case 3 properly handed
   4
 
  • Biosphere case 4 properly handed
   6
 
  • Biosphere case 5 properly handed
   8
 
  • Biosphere case 6 properly handed
   8
 
  • Biosphere case 7 properly handed (must handle cases 1 - 5 properly to get credit)
   14
 
  • Biosphere case 8 properly handed (must handle cases 1 - 6 properly to get credit)

Design requirements (may modify the raw score)

    
 
  • Implements static methods (other than 'main()')
 Divide functionality marks by two1
 
  • Program consists of only one class (style marks will also be lost)
 Divide functionality marks by two1
 
  • Functionality not assigned to the appropriate class as specified in the assignment description (e.g., the attacker implements a task that belongs to the defender).
 Max loss of 8 marks to functionality (tallied after the above two modifiers, if applicable)

GRADE POINT

 

4

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.
