----------------------------------------------- Self-mark of Assignment NN (participation mark) ----------------------------------------------- -Ian! D. Allen - idallen@idallen.ca - www.idallen.com Submitting each self-mark survey contributes toward your 10% class participation mark. Each assignment has a corresponding self-mark survey to be filled out on Blackboard. Fill in the survey by answering the survey questions on Blackboard online. To earn this mark, you must accurately self-mark your assignment using the posted assignment answers. You can self-mark an assignment even if you didn't submit it on time, but you cannot self-mark an assignment that you have not submitted at all or in which you have not answered most of the questions. (You can submit an assignment late, so that you can self-mark it, before the self-mark survey due date. Make sure you do your own work for each assignment that you submit. Copying posted answers and submitting that as your own assignment work would constitute plagiarism. Do your own work.) How To Self-Mark Your Own Assignment ------------------------------------ Check each of your answers and methods against my posted answers and methods for the assignment. Submit the points for each question in your assignment using a scale of: 0 - I gave No Answer for this question 1 - Incomplete or Mostly Wrong Answer (no method shown or large errors) 2 - Mostly Right Answer (method shown and only small errors) 3 - Perfect Answer including full method shown Minor errors in arithmetic or spelling may still be worth 2 or even 3 points if you understand what you are doing, have written down the correct method, and the errors are small enough. Neglecting to write down *how* you came to an answer is worth only 1 point. Full points requires that you show *how* you arrived at your answer, similar to the methods shown in the answer file posted for each assignment, though your methods don't have to match the posted methods as long as they work. You get full participation marks for submitting each survey accurately. The actual points you submit for each question will *not* be used in your participation grading. You must accurately self-mark all the questions in the assignment, even if you only answered a few of the questions. (Unanswered questions must be self-marked as zero, not left blank.) Incomplete surveys don't count toward your participation mark, nor do self-marked assignments that are not marked accurately. You must submit your Blackboard userid and name along with each survey. I will examine your submitted answers to see which topics need review for tests and exams. Failing to mark your answers accurately (e.g. giving yourself 3 points for questions you did not answer) will result in a participation mark of zero. EXAMPLE SELF-MARK: Samples of self-marks, showing how to assign partial marks. SAMPLE QUESTION: Convert 39(10) to octal. Perfect Answer (3/3 - has a correct method and a correct answer): 39 minus 4 * 8^1 equals 39 - 32 = 7 7 minus 7 * 8^0 equals 7 - 7 = 0 -> DONE Answer: 47(8) Mostly Right Answer (2/3 - right method; some math errors): 39 minus 4 * 8^1 equals 39 - 30 = 9 9 minus 9 * 8^0 equals 9 - 9 = 0 -> DONE Answer: 49(8) Mostly Wrong Answer (1/3 - no method shown; you must show your method) Answer: 47 Mostly Wrong Answer (1/3 - wrong method, leading to a wrong answer) 9 times 8^0 = 9 3 times 8^1 = 24 24+9 = 33 Answer: 33 -- | Ian!
