Project 1 Grading Rubric

Notes/FAQThe formatting of the emails is not as nice as it could be. If it says “-” or “0” you didn’t get any points taken off (or added, as the case may be). The headers have got a 0 in front of them. The headers are not scored however (e.g. “functions” in Blur or “functionality” in paint).
