Assignments for happy times:

How grading works:

Questions are worth 3 points according to the following scale:

  • 3 = correct or very nearly so.
  • 2 = acceptable but needs some revisions.
  • 1 = needs major revisions.
  • 0 = way off, no banana or equivalent reward. Ook.

And for the full score, you must show your complete working ...
