10% will be taken off per day for late submissions.
Penalty for failure to list references will depend on severity (not documenting collaborators vs. outright plagiarism, for example, are very different)
1 point will be deducted for numerical results reported to an inappropriate level of precision.
"–" indicates that a particular score is not achievable for a given problem or part.
| Part | 0 points | 1 point | 2 points | 3 points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1 | Decision variables not defined or defined variables unrelated to problem description. | Appropriate decision variables defined, but notation is unclear or set of variables is incomplete. | Appropriate decision variables defined with clear notation | – |
| 1.2 | Objective function not provided, objective function is missing elements, or equation provided with no justification or derivation. | Slightly incorrect objective function provided with derivation and/or justification. | Objective function contains all needed components and is adequately justified and/or derived. | – |
| 1.3 | Constraints not provided or provided constraints are not related to the problem. | Constraint set not complete or constraints are not adequately justified. | Complete constraint set provided with justification. | – |
| 1.4 | Code missing or does not produce a solvable problem. | Code provided and problem solves. | – | – |
| 1.5 | Problem not answered or answer not related to prior work. | Answer incomplete based on problem instructions. | Answer complete and reflective of implemented model. | – |
| 1.6 | Answer missing or plots not reflective of problem solution. | Not all requested plots are provided or no take-aways provided but plots are present. | Plots provided, but are missing important elements (legends, axis labels, etc). | Plots provided with interpretation. |
