Grading

Grading criteria is as follows:

  • Fit in one page (20 points). If your document spans through multiple pages, you will fail this phase.
  • Similarity to the original (60 points). You will get full points for similarity if your page is identical to the original one in the book. You will lose points for each difference you commit.
  • Readability of the .tex file (20 points). Try to keep your documents readable, make sure you use indentation.
  • Bonus (10 points). Figures done in LaTeX or by inkscape and the source code of the figure is provided.

Handling Figures

In addition, you will observe that some pages contain figures and this makes it more difficult to typeset a page. To remove the injustice relative to the “easier” ones, here is the deal:

  • You can either snip the image and embed it in your document, or
  • You can create a vector-based version of it (like .svg, .eps), using an application such as Inkscape, and embed that image. Since the latter is harder but makes the figure more attractive. you will be graded a 10-point bonus for each image you convert.
