Hi everyone, >From the grading of warmup project #1, I've decided to change item #1 at the top of the grading guidelines to say the following: 1) The points below are maximum points. If something sort of works, please try to give partial credits. (This is at the grader's discretion.) To me, the most important thing when it comes to grading is applying one rule to all. It's at the grader's discretion on how to give partial credits and when not to give partial credits. You should read the grading guidelines carefully and try your best to get as many correct behavior as possible and not *count on* getting partial credits. -- Bill Cheng // bill.cheng@usc.edu
