●     Incorrect answer

●    Poor/no justification of steps/final answer

●     Little or no

mathematical working out

●     Math not written in markdown

●    Correct answer

●    Strong justification of steps/final answer

●    Complete mathematical working out so that a

marker can understand how you arrived at the  final solution

●     Math written in markdown

Coding    answers

16%

●     Incorrect answer

●    Poor/no justification of steps/final answer via  comments in the code or complementary text cells

●     Few computational

steps not related to the correct answer.

Submitted  documents

●     Did not submit pdf of the notebook file

●     Poorly written, hard to follow

●     Unstructured

●    Submitted pdf of the

notebook as well as the notebook file

●    Well written, easy to follow

●    Well structured

Coding

quality/struct  ure/elegance/ Visualisation

●    Some errors, code  does not run, full of warnings

●     No comments

●     Inefficient/ lengthy

syntax (e.g. too many   unnecessary for loops, copy and pasting code instead of using

functions)

●    Computationally inefficient (runs  forever)

●     No appropriate

indenting of code to improve readability

●    Number of decimal   places used for final answers does not

correspond to what   was requested in the assignment

●     Excessive use of “hard coding” (embedding

data directly into the source code of a

program or other

executable object, as  opposed to obtaining  the data from external sources or generating it at runtime).

●    Code runs, error free, warning free

●    Concise syntax

●    The redundant or

unnecessary code is

excluded from the final submission.

●    Computationally efficient

●     Detailed comments

●    Appropriate use of

indenting to make code more readable

●    Number of decimal

places used for final

answers matches what was requested in the

assignment

●     Minimal, if any use of “hard coding” - loads  data from external

sources or passes

data/variables into

functions rather than creating the variable inside the function

again.
