First, find a better color scheme for something you intend people to read. That was painful.
Second, when I was a CS student I expected to be graded on my response to a particular problem. If you wanted me to roll my own sort, I expect that to be specified. If you want me to explain in comments why I chose certain algorithms say something in class. I'm not going to waste time implementing an efficient sorting algorithm for a 100 element list (or 1000 even) just to provide a TA with a nerdgasm.
I feel this article is asking if students should be graded on an arbitrarily deep rubric. I had enough to worry about as an undergrad without caring if a bored TA was going to dock me 10 points for calling Arrays.sort.
- drfugly 16y agoWill do for the color scheme. What I was trying to ask was: Should real world performance be more heavily weighed? I feel like right now all the CS curriculum focuses on is O() performance as the end all.
- tomwans 16y agoNormally, my (favorite) CS professor would weigh code clarity more strongly than performance. However, he would sometimes put up assignments that focused almost entirely on the performance, in which he obviously changed the grading weights.
