MCC - CIS162AD
Grading Rubric for Programming Assignments

All programming assignments will be graded based on the quality of the source code and program performance. Iems that will be considered include:

Category Good (90-100% of points) Satisfactory (60-89%) Unsatisfactory (0%)

Documentation
10% of grade

Code ncludes student name and assignment number at the top of program.

Form includes student name and assignment number in the text property.

Code includes informative and concise comments about the program code.

Code includes student name and assignment number at the top of program.

Form includes student name and assignment number in the text property.

Code ncludes some comments about the program.

Student name and assignment number not included at the top of program code.

Student name and assignment number not included in the text property of each form.

Comments not included.

Format
10% of grade

Program code has margins.

Statements are indented and aligned (block format).

Open and close braces { } are on separate lines with matching pairs aligned.

White space inserted between commands, operators, and variables.

Each line of code contains one statement.

Most of the code is aligned.

Most of the code contains appropriate white space

Much of the code is not aligned.

White space is lacking.

Code is difficult to read.

Variables
10% of grade

Names self-describe their purpose.

Names are in camel case format.

A three letter prefix (Hungarian notation) indicates the data type (intQty, strFirstName, decTaxAmount).

A three letter prefix of control objects indicate the object type (txtDepartment, lblPhone, btnExit).

Class-level variables begin with letter c (cdecTotalSales, cintTotalCount).

Constant variables are all uppercase and underscores are used between words. (decTAX_RATE, cdecFICA_RATE, .)

All defined variables are actually used.

Names do not self-describe their purpose.

Naming convention followed for most of the variables.

Names are ambiguous.

Naming convention not followed.

Variables defined but not used.

Ease of Use
20% of grade

Outputs are labeled correctly and displayed in an attractive manner.

Form is layed out in logical order.

User prompts contain little information that may be confusing.

Most of the output is aligned.
