Giles Roadnight : 01/1617
Individual Project Mark : 45
Class Test Mark : 10
Total Coursework: 55
Overall Course Grade:
Group Marking
Requirements Analysis Mark: 8
Noone ever does enough requirements analysis - difficult when you get to make up the requirements, but there is a technical impreative to fully spell out what you plan to do, and the intended look and feel of the end result
Design Mark: 10
I wouldn't dream of suggesting any inadequacies here
Coding Standards Mark: 9
Very high - near professional. A software shop would probably give you some training on Hungarian notation for naming conventions - not something I touched on in the course although one or two students did use it.
Implementation Mark: 9
No-one has ever got 10 for this for the simple reason that I need to leave room at the top. The attention to detail applied here is excellent.
Discretionary Mark: 9
This might be overall the best project this semester (a bit too early to gauge yet, but you've certainly set a very high standard. The documentation is up to the standard of the rest of the project.
Total Mark (group): 45
I was expecting big things of this project (blame Giles and his persistent email habit). Largely you've delivered. I'm impressed by the categories, switch between history and favourites and the inclusion of categories - this type of thing takes a lot of work, but well worth it. Your use ot TitleChange as an event to signal possible broken links was neat - something I'd never thought of. Limited as you suggest, but much less trouble and only slightly less reliable than scraping the page source to look for HTML tags indicating errors. This is an excellent project.
Penalties: 0

The coursework total mark is out of 60. This has been added to the exam mark (out of 40) for the overall module grade.
If you were expecting a coursework mark and do not have one, they are not all marked yet.
