Common stylistic and documentation issues that the markers noticed with A1

Documentation:

1. No versioning system employed. Alternatively some specified the version of python instead of the program's version.
2. Program features and limitations not documented. Alternatively some list program features as program limitations and vice versa.
3. Contact information not provided (Full name - please match it with the one provided to the university, student identification number, tutorial number).
4. Wrong tutorial number provided.
5. Documentation incorrectly provided at the end of the program rather than at the start as was required.

Programming style

1. Poor variable names.
2. Program output was hard to read.

Program requirements not followed

(Although it wasn't expected so I only asked the markers to list the style and documentation problems it's worth reminding students that specified requirements must be followed in order to be awarded credit).

• Although it was specified that the assignment of was to be implemented via format specifiers students ignored that requirement and employed alternatives instead (e.g. escape codes using a tab or by hard coding spaces).
