MarkWhat you did
5Reason, apply, problem solve, present: Correctly applies ideas to reach a clear, concise, correct, cleanly presented solution. Can reason about ideas presented. Can apply them to different settings. etc. Minor technical flaws allowed. Your explanations/documentation is clear and simple, gets to the point, presents the right few concepts necessary to understand the solution.
4As in 5 but lacks some clarity, not as concise as possible, some minor flaw, not a clean presentation. Documentation/explanation is not focused, does not address key points in any special way.
3 Semantics: Demonstrates correct understanding of basic definitions, ability to correctly apply basic techniques, theorem statements etc. Some major conceptual misunderstanding. Indicators are that fixing the problem would require a long discussion.
2Some major flaw in the understanding of basic definitions, techniques, theorem statements. Examples are: Applies theorems to wrong settings. Does not understand the goal (ie tries to prove the wrong result). Solves the wrong problem.
1Syntax: Ability to restate given definitions, theorems, techniques.
