Evaluating a program done for an assignment.
Timeliness:
Full score for an on time project.
Deduct 5 points for each day late.
Style & Documentation:
Follows style conventions that make the program readable.
See, for example,
"Code Conventions for the JavaTM Programming Language,"
http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConvTOC.doc.html
Comments that identify the author,
explain for each project component its purpose and the way in
which the purpose is accomplished, identify and give the
purpose for each variable or constant.
See "How to Write Doc Comments for the Javadoc Tool,"

Example:
/**
* Returns an Image object that can then be painted on the screen.
* The url argument must specify an absolute {@link URL}. The name
* argument is a specifier that is relative to the url argument.
* <p>
* This method always returns immediately, whether or not the
* image exists. When this applet attempts to draw the image on
* the screen, the data will be loaded. The graphics primitives
* that draw the image will incrementally paint on the screen.
*
* @author Ernest Ackermann
* @param url an absolute URL giving the base location of the image
* @param name the location of the image, relative to the url argument
* @return the image at the specified URL
* @see Image
*/
Program structure:
Appropriate use of classes and objects
Appropriate construction of classes and objects
Appropriate use of decision and iteration structures
Program code:
Proper code for the task. That is, code that does not accomplish
the task properly will not be given full credit.
Output:
Correctness and format of the output.
