Comment Codes

Note: Each comment code may refer to several criteria-only one may apply to your project.  Failure to proofread and spell
check comments may have cost you an "A".

?	no project, inaccessible project, or not in mason account,
	major components missing

0	weak implementation

1	problem with algorithm

2	problem with skeleton code

3	no layout manager

4	proper citations where indicated

5	does not meet requirements, lack of comments

6	organization and design could be improved

7	bugs

8	repetitious or inefficient code

9	good project!

10	outstanding project! (rarely given)

HC	Possible honor code violation, copied code, "patchwork
	plagiarism" (copying and pasting instead of writing your own code.)

Common errors:

Warning: while your .html and .class files must be readable, your .java file should not be. If you make your .java file readable and someone copies it, you are equally liable for an honor code violation.
