Comments on grading of the computer test - moed bet

Each question was graded out of 50. Within each question I gave points as follows:

• 25 points for a basic functioning program that does the minimum needed (compute the value of the probability for a single value of a and sigma in question 1, compute the value of the contract for a single value of B in question 2, solve the PDE in some manner in question 3).
• 10 points for relating to the issues in writing the program. For example: choice of method where more than one was available, choice of numeric parameters (such as "N" and "M" in questions 1 and 2, "h" and "k" in question 3; also choice of a sensible number of values of a or sigma in question 1), deciding what results are worth looking at.
• 15 points for giving results and discussion, if needed.
