The setting for student learning

In CSCI 2540, students are required to demonstrate problem solving skills by completing several larger programming assignments involving modularity and abstraction.

Rubric

Good. 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 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.
