Special Case Questions

Use the standard 3-point scale for grading, except as follows:

Question 1

Has a correct/incorrect style answer. Award 1 point if the answer is correct, 0 points otherwise.

Question 2

Has a correct/incorrect style answer. Award 1 point if the answer is correct, 0 points otherwise.

Question 4

Has a correct/incorrect style answer. Award 1 point if the answer is correct, 0 points otherwise.

Question 5

The point of this question, candidly, is to demonstrate how difficult it is to write algorithms in English due to the inherent ambiguity of language. As such, your objective while grading this is to find “bugs” in the algorithm. Award:

• 4 extremely carefully, and only if you find absolutely nothing that is subject to interpretation. This should be exceedingly rare.
• 3 if you detect one or two logical, runtime, or interpretation bugs.
• 2 if you detect three through ten logical, runtime, or interpretation bugs.
• 1 if you detect more than ten logical, runtime, or interpretation bugs.
• 0 if the answer is blank or is not actually an algorithm.
