Lab 8 Grading Guideline

Automatic Grades of 0 awarded for the following reasons:
[1] If the student's .java files do not appear in the submission.  
[2] If the code does not compile.  
[3] If the code does not run. 


[A] UML Diagram & Attendance (9%)
UML diagram submitted and shows overall design.  Award only 4 points if 
all classes and relationships not represented in diagram.

Attendance is worth 5 points for this assignment.  No partial credit.


[B] Design Issues (10%)

( 5 points) [B1] Students have used multiple classes in creation of 
                 projects, not everything is created in a main method.

( 5 points) [B2] Proper decomposition of objects is used.  There 
                 should minimally be a top-level object (separate from 
				 the class that had main) as well as a puzzle class and
				 a puzzle cell class and classes for the action listeners
				 for the buttons.


[C] Initial Game Configuration (15%)
When program begins:
(5 points) [C1] There is a puzzle loaded on the screen.
(5 points) [C2] The buttons appear on the UI.
(5 points) [C3] There are editable areas where the user can input numbers.


[D] JAR file independently executable (10%)
The Jar file that the student submitted is executable from the command line.
If not, try to run in Eclipse.  If successful in Eclipse, award no points in
this section.  If successful in neither, automatic grade of 0.  The only 
exception to this is projects that use images.  Images will not work
correctly in the Jar.  Unless a solution is found, if a project uses
images, the Jar will need to be imported into Eclipse to be graded as in
previous labs.


[E] Clear and End Program (15%)
(10 points) [E1] Hitting the clear button causes user input to be cleared
				 from Sudoko cells.
(5 points) [E2] Closing the window causes the program to end.


[F] Hint Button (15%)
(5 points)  [F1] Hitting the "hint" button should provide the user with one
				 correct answer in the cells of the Sudoku.
(10 points) [F2] The cell that was revealed should now be uneditable by the 
				 user.


[G] Checking the Puzzle (21%)
Hitting the check puzzle button should check if the puzzle is valid and 
should report either "valid" or "invalid" to the user.  This report should
not happen on the console, but rather be a part of the UI either as a text
on the UI, color change, or pop-up dialog.  If the report is not on the UI, 
but rather a print to the console, award only 10 points.


DEDUCTIONS 
[H] Style (20 points maximum deduction) If the submitted code
does not meet the given criterion, it should be deducted the appropriate

(5 points)[H1]  Code uses proper tabbing and whitespace for 
                readability.

(5 points)[H2]  Naming of classes, methods, and variables are meaningful 
                to the project.

(5 points)[H3]  Naming conventions for classes, methods, variables, 
                parameters are following according to CSE 115 styles.

(5 points)[H4]  Every class, instance variable, and method is commented 
                with its purpose in the project.


GIVING FEEDBACK
You must e-mail a feedback/grade message to each student whose work you
grade. You will ONLY e-mail to the student's cse e-mail account, which
is username@cse.buffalo.edu.

The subject line will be: CSE115 Lab 8 Grade and feedback

A copy of this ENTIRE email with the bottom part filled in by you should 
be sent to the student for their reference.

If a student receives less that the maximum number of points, you must
give an explanation of why the student lost points.
