GRADING OF HOMEWORK AND EXAM QUESTIONS

(A)  If the question consists of a problem to be solved,  the maximum  number of points  will be 5, and there are the following options.

(A1) There is only one problem worth 5 points. In this case the points will be assigned according to the following rule:
5 - problem completely solved
4 - there are minor inaccuracies
3 - problem half-solved
2 - "good start" but there are major inaccuracies and the solution is not actually there
1 - there are some comments to the point, but there is no actual structure that would lead to an argument
0 - nothing in the attempted solution is to the point

(A2) There are subproblems worth 3 or 2 points or 1 point.  In this case  each subproblem will be graded separately as follows:
3 point problem:
3 - completely solved
2 - half or more than half solved
1- less than half solved, but there are some portions to the point
0- nothing in the attempted solution is to the point
2 point problem:
2 - completely or mostly solved
1 - around one half solution
0 - nothing or close to nothing in the attempted solution is to the point
1 point problem:
1 - more than half solved
0 - half or less than half solved

With each problem it will be specified how many points it is worth or how many points each subproblem is worth.

(B)  Revised on October 22, 2012: If the questions consists of yes/no subquestions then each  subquestion is given
 1 point if the  answer is correct,
-0.5 points if the answer is incorrect, and
 0 points if there is no answer.
This revised policy should discourage people to make random choice.
