CPSC 233: Assignment 2 (Marking Key)

    Your score Max score

Coding style (marks independent of program functionality)

    
 
  • Appropriate use of white space (source code)
  2
 
  • Self-documenting naming conventions
   3
 
  • Boolean and mathematical expressions are simple and easy to read
  3
 
  • Each method implements one well defined task
  4
 
  • Functions/methods don't exceed one screen size in length ~ 30 lines of code (excludes whitespace and documentation)
   2
 
  • Class UserInterface consists of at least 3 methods
   3
 
  • Class Manager consists of at least one method for each of the list functions: average, display, highest, lowest, random, set fixed.
   6
 
  • Class attributes are logical to the definition (e.g., not variables that are just local to a function or method but belong to each instance)
   2
 
  • Static variables employed (unless otherwise allowed)
   -4
 
  • The code for the 3 classes are not included in its own file.
   -9 (-3 each)

Documentation (marks independent of program functionality)

    
 
  • Header documentation includes full name and tutorial section
  2
 
  • Some form of versioning system is demonstrated in the header documentation
   1
 
  • Each function/method is documented (similar to documentation for the entire program but applies only to that function/method). (Min. of 9 methods that need to be documented)
   9
 
  • Program limitations documented
   1
 
  • 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)

    
 
  • Displays main menu
   1
 
  • Prompts for input
   1
 
  • Able to distinguish between the different menu options
   3
 
  • Program runs until user quits
   1
 
  • Display contents of list (2 marks for basic case, 4 marks for advanced)
   4
 
  • Assigns random grades to each list element
   4
 
  • Assigns a grade of 2.0 to the first 10 elements
   2
 
  • Calculate and displays the average grade
   4
 
  • Determine and display the highest grade in the list
   4
 
  • Determine and display the lowest grade in the list
   4

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)

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.
