How the assignments are marked:
When marking any of the assignments, what we are looking for is:
- Does not fully answer the question => N (Fail)
- Just follows the instructions and gives simple answer covering all that is asked => P (Pass)
- Answers the question and provides some (limited) justification of the answers and choices made => CR (Credit)
- All the answers are fully justified and connected to the material in the lectures or textbooks in great detail with insights and observations by the student that are not always straightforward => D (Distinction)
- In addition to the above, various external sources (e.g. research papers, blogs, other books) are used to provide various alternatives in the discussion, almost “surprising” or letting the markers learn new things => HD (High Distinction)
