In general, incorrect answers will be assigned pro-rated partial credit proportional to the
amount of the supporting work that is correct. Pro-rated points will typically be rounded to
whole numbers. Other deductions will be assigned per question as described below:
a) any combination of wrong significant figures and/or missing or incorrect units and/or
dumb math error(s).......................................................................... 1 point
b) no answer provided / blank ...................................................................100%
c) incorrect answer; no work shown...........................................................100%
d) correct answer, but no supporting work is shown when complex, multi-step calculations
are required (This looks suspiciously like cheating.) .................................100%
e) completely incorrect concept or approach, but some correct calculations associated with
this type of problem are shown....................................................... ~60-80%
f) description and/or outline of correct approach or concept, but calculations performed or
answers calculated are missing or incomplete .................................. ~30-40%
