CIS 110 (11fa) final grading notes

1-4: each part was worth 1 pt with no opportunity for partial credit.

5: -5 for each of the following errors:
     + Checking i % 15 as the last if-clause rather than the first.
     + Using System.out.println rather than System.out.print
     + Setting characters by column instead of row

  -2 for each of the following errors:
     + Forgetting the final System.out.println
     + Miscellaneous, random errors

6: -1 or -2 per unique syntax error, e.g.,
     + Forgetting to define a variable
     + Setting an int as a String
     + Using = instead of ==

   Up to -5 if there exists a severe error while looping through files
     + Not using while.hasNextLine()
     + Not constructing the scanner on the right thing
     + Not incrementing a 'line' scanner
     + Loop not existing
     + Returning insode of loop
     + (-3 if it was a return only on the 0 case)

  Up to -5 for bad token handling (-2 for each occurrence)

  -5 for incorrect conditional logic, no exceptions (not as in symbols) but as
     in if they didn't know what they were testing

  -3 For defining the numWins variable inside of the loop

  -1 for incorrect header

7: The primary things for which points were taken off:
   -2 for not returning a null array when arr is null
   -2 for not returning a new array of length 0 when arr is the empty array
   -1 if arr is returned instead of a new array
   -1 for not inserting the last word of the array or over-inserting into the
      array
   -4 if an array of the incorrect size is made

   Attempts at the problem that were generally incorrect beyond repair received
   6-8 points.

8: Individual methods were assigned points as follows:
   Constructor: +4
   getMove: +6
   getFoodtype, getSpeed: +2
   getColor, toString: +3

   Points were subtracted off of each method based off of the number of mistakes
   made and severity of those mistakes.

9: Part (a) was 15 points.
   +1 header
   +3 correct if statement (3 conditions)
   +1 return
   =1 using random
   +1 random with len
   +1 rand.nextInt(len) +k
   +3 using a temp variable, using the array, and using k as the index
   +4 for correct swap

   Part (b) was 10 points.
   +1 correct header
   +1 correct if condition
   +1 correct return
   +1 new Random object
   +1 for using loop
   +1 calling swap random
   +4 for each arg in swapRandom
