  +
|+
−
Instructor reviews your homework assignments for the following elements:
  
−  
−
* Check if the data presented is within &quot;reasonable&quot; bounds for the current assignment. Reasonable bounds is dependent upon each case depending upon the assignment and the tools being used by you to develop the assignment.
  
−
* Identify any spikes or unusual patterns in the data which may be an indication of incorrect application of the process, a simple typo or incorrectly stated assumptions.
  
−
* Collate data submitted by multiple students in order to come up with a common set of numbers reflecting the data of the entire class.
  
−  
−
Assignments will be marked as either, PASS, PASS but, or Resubmit.
  
−  
−
* PASS - Means everything is good and you can proceed. Scored as a 0 (zero).
  
−
* PASS but - Means you did pretty well, but there are some minor things to review and in the long run these might create problems. Scored as a 0.5 (zero point five).
  
−
* Resubmit - You made an error that will cause many issues later on so it must be corrected before your proceed. Scored as a 1 (one).
  
−  
−
Objective of course is to complete all assignments with the minimum score possible. i.e. a total score of zero at the end means you got a perfect score.
  
−  
−
A passing grade indicates that you have successfully demonstrated an understanding of the lecture material.
