CSE 115: Tutorial Grading

Tutorials on the same topic will graded together by the 115 staff as a
whole.

Tutorials will be read and ranked 1, 2, 3, 4.
These rankings will be determined by readability (grammar and spelling),
the content and coherence of the tutorial, the way the concept was
explained and the quality of the examples used.  The ranking is based
in no way on asthetic aspects of the tutorial.  While a well-designed
HTML page is appropriate and will enhance the usability for the other
students, students creating tutorials will not be penalized for a lack
of creativity or knowledge of HTML and other web technologies.  
Therefore, the content of the tutorial and the quality of the explanations
used within it will be the basis of the rankings.

In most circumstances, the rankings will translate into the follow 
grades:

Paper ranked 1: 100 (A)
Paper ranked 2: 91  (A)
Paper ranked 3: 82  (B+)
Paper ranked 4: 76  (B)

There is a possiblity for ties, for which both students will receive the
same grade.  There is also the ability to shift the scale down if the 
overall quality of the tutorials is deemed to be less than the posted 
scale.
