Subject: Marking of assignment 2



I realize that commenting your code is very important,
but isn't it going a little overboard when the
comments alone are worth 52% of the assignment, while
the correct operation is worth only 17%?

Perhaps the title of the assignment was too
misleading, and should have been called "Commenting in
Assembly" instead of "8086 Programming".

The reason I am upset about this is because I spent
the whole day programming and testing to get the
program to work properly, but I also commented every
single line of code, which only took a few minutes.

Can we be informed of the marking scheme ahead of
time, so that we don't invest huge amounts of time,
only to lose a lot of marks on something that could
have very easily be done in a few seconds, had we
known exactly what we you were looking for?
