Here, the topic is reinforced with additional instruction and the student continues to put the topic to use. Student learning is assessed.

The setting for student learning

In CSCI 2530, students are required to demonstrate problem solving skills by completing several programming assignments, all of which are of a larger scale than were encountered in CSCI 1010. In early assignments, problem solving steps are specified, but in later assignments, students are expected to be able to solve problems with less steps provided to them.

Rubric

Good. The student should be able to write programs, using any possible solution, which correctly solves the problems presented in the assignments. The solution provided simply needs to work, but there may be alternate solutions which would be better, use less steps, or be more efficient. Overall, the student is able to provide working solutions to at least 80% of the assignments.

Satisfactory. The student should be able to write programs, using any possible solution, which correctly solve the problems presented in the assignments. The solution provided simply needs to work, but there may be alternate solutions which would be better, use less steps, or be more efficient. Overall, the student is able to provide working solutions to at least 60% of the assignments.

Unsatisfactory. A student's work is unsatisfactory if it does not meet any of the above criteria.
