Like I said... using newly introduced concepts. != was already covered. Granted, NOT is more suited for use in expressions
NOT( c * v > 155 )

or whatever... but this is a prelude to programming class, so it's full of people who have never seen source code in their life...


My dilemma is, do I take points away for the mistake, or do I outright score this portion as 0, because it could not solve the problem (which it couldn't if the program simply would error out or crash. The grading criteria clearly states to grade as 0 if the solution does not solve the problem. This IF statement was just to prevent division by zero, and not necessarily required to get the correct output as long as the user did not enter a 0 for input).

I hate this aspect of the class, because my assessment seems to actually affect the student's score. I'm highly against this because... students who may or may not understand what the hell is going on, having the ability to affect MY grade? Crazy...


Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
