There are two parts to Homework 3:
Part 1: Questions for Experienced Tutors
Our upcoming class will mostly be a panel led by experienced tutors.
We’ll have an open-ended period at the end of the panel where you can ask questions of the panelists. However, to ensure our discussion time is used wisely, we’d like you to submit two questions that you’d like to hear the panelists answer. Your questions can be directed at all of the panelists, or at a panelist for your class.
Part 2: Sample Grading
In this part, you’ll grade a DSC20 midterm question from a few years ago. A rubric isn’t provided for you – you’ll have to create it yourself. To submit your work, answer the questions in the Gradescope form linked above.
You may wonder why you’re being asked to grade a coding problem despite not tutoring for DSC10/20/30/80. The answer is that the process of creating a rubric is quite similar regardless of the medium!
We’re not going to provide you with the solution or the rubric (though feel free to message on Slack if you’re unsure of the answer). What we have provided you with three (real) student solutions. Your job is:
- create a rubric for a given problem.
- grade all three answers using your rubric.
