Grading Criteria

All assignments require the student to write working code for a basic application. A knowledgeable student
might generate a solution in about 14-16 hours. A typical student will have a solution in about a week of
work. If much more than a week is spent on each assignment, it is possible that the student is generating an
application that goes beyond what is required or the student does not have the required background.

Your assignments will be evaluated using the following 6 categories

CATEGORIES DESCRIPTION MAXIMUM

POINTS

Object-Oriented Design This covers the quality of your object- 20

oriented design, especially as
demonstrated in the structure of your
classes and your use of variables and
methods.

Graduate students must add a UML

diagram

Documentation and use Undergraduate: source comments. 5

of standards
Graduate: user instructions, Javadoc
tool, and source comments

GUI In this category you are graded on how 10

well your GUI conforms to specification,
and how easy it is to use your GUI.

Data Storage This category covers your 5

implementation of data storage, which is
described in detail in your assignment
documentation.

Topic covered This category covers the networking, 40

security, databases, or webserver topic
covered during the semester.

Presentation Professor, TA and/or students will ask 20

questions related to the project.

Undergraduate 5 minutes demo

required.

Graduate 10 minutes demo using a

PowerPoint document required

You must demo your homework during the next week the homework was due.

If you do not demo your homework a grade of zero would be assigned.
