Grading Scheme for Quiz 2 Part I: Out of 3 points (fifth rule inapplicable, not math!) -1: Forgot to circle the tutorial. -2: Forgot either the name or the student number -3: If neither name or number on the quiz Part II: MTMS = multitape TM with stay TM = ordinary TM Emulating TM with MTMS: Out of 2 points, 0.5 if "I don't know" May use any model known to be equivalent; list is below -2 if not included -1 if massively complex -1 if not indicating encoding of TM configuration -1 if not indicating emulation of TM transition/move Emulating MTMS with TM: Out of 5 points May use any model known to be equivalent; allowed list is TM, semi-infinite TM, multitrack TM: w/ or w/o stay multitape TM, NTM, 2-D TM, multihead TM: w/o stay only -2 if assuming unproven equivalence in proof -1 if using different model than used above to show equivalence and not arguing equivalence between these models -1 if model being used not described clearly enough -2 if not indicating encoding of MTMS configuration -3 if not indicating how a MTMS transition/move is emulated A correct proof will score between 3 and 5 points. An incorrect proof will score between 0 and 2 points. 5: The proof is correct (possibly missing a minor detail or 2) 4: The proof is mostly correct but is missing some important points examples: Using a different model than for reverse direction without explicitly arguing equivalence Assumes model equivalences without stating them 3: The proof is very incomplete but is on the right track example: Not indicating how the tape contents and head positions are emulated 2: The proof fails to prove the equivalence but is a good effort 1: Not a proof, but shows understanding of how to show TM equivalence example: Argues on similarities in structure of machines 0: The proof does not demonstrate understanding of the material. Grader's comments: 1) 1 out of 7 for only stating the idea that "stay = move-right + move-left" only if it shows understanding of a TM equivalence proof. 2) 2 out of 7 for case 1 if it is accompanied with the (not-going-to work) idea of adding some extra states to handle the "stay" move. 3) Many of the solutions were based on the same idea as it was in the proof for showing the equivalence of 2-D TM and ordinary TM. In this case, the mark will vary from 3 to 5 depending on the missing parts of the proof (the remaining 2 points is for emulating TM with MTMS). Note: If you have used this approach and again you mentioned that you can simulate a stay with a right-move + a left-move, then it indicates that you have not understood the proof properly. In this case, you will get at most 3 out of 5.
