"–" indicates that a particular score is not achievable for a given problem or part.
| Part | 0 points | 1 point | 2 points | 3 points | 4 points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1 | Problem is missing, code and/or plot is not relevant to the question, or code does not run | Code runs, but plot is missing, or code has major errors, resulting in incorrect plot | Plot and code included. Code includes minor errors and plot may be missing elements which impede interpretation (labels, etc). | Plot and code included. Code is correct, but plot is missing elements which impede interpretation (labels, etc), or code has minor errors but the plot is appropriate given those. | Plot and code included. Code correctly implements model. Plot is adequately labelled (axis labels included with units, appropriate legends are provided, etc) |
| 1.2 | Problem missing or answer is not related to the provided code | Answer is based on the provided code, but is incorrect given that previous code | Problem correctly solved based on the provided code. | – | – |
| 1.3 | Problem missing or answer is not relevant to the question | Search conducted over an inappropriate sample of options (too coarse or sparse), or answer is incorrect due to a minor bug. | Answer is correct, resulting from an appropriate search of options. | – | – |
| 1.4 | Problem missing or answer is not relevant to the question | Search conducted over an inappropriate sample of options (too coarse or sparse), or answer is incorrect due to a minor bug. | Answer is correct, resulting from an appropriate search of options. | – | – |
| 1.5 | No answer provided or answer does not reflect prior answers | Answer does not discuss additional needed information thoughtfully or provides no insight into why one choice would be made. | Answer reflects a thoughtful evaluation of the different options and demonstrates thoughtfulness regarding additional information. | – | – |
| 1.6 | No answer provided or answer does not reflect modeling | No Monte Carlo analysis conducted or code has major problems preventing the analysis (no sampling from appropriate distributions, inappropriately few samples, etc.) | Code has slight bugs leading to incorrect solution. | Answer is correct and is based on appropriate modeling. | – |
| 1.7 | No answer provided or answer does not reflect modeling | No Monte Carlo analysis conducted or code has major problems preventing the analysis (no sampling from appropriate distributions, inappropriately few samples, etc.) | Code has slight bugs leading to incorrect solution. | Answer is correct and is based on appropriate modeling. | – |
| 1.8 | No answer provided or answer does not reflect prior answers | Answer does not discuss additional needed information thoughtfully or provides no insight into why one choice would be made. | Answer reflects a thoughtful evaluation of the different options and demonstrates thoughtfulness regarding additional information. | – | – |
