General:

In addition to meeting your objectives, you are expected to make "reasonable" decisions about various implementation details. In addition, we are picky about how things are marked. Listed on this and the other Secret Marking pages are things that we explicitly check and deduct point for. The lists are not complete - especially creative students may discover new ways to make unreasonable decisions.

NOTE: The deductions listed on these and other Marking pages are guidelines only and are subject to TA discretion. As noted above, we generally expect students to make "reasonable" decisions as well as reasonable effort in complete and correct implementations.
