Grading Form for Knight's Tour Project

NOTE

Each section of this report is followed by a score in the form "m/n" which tells is your score and the maximum fpossible or the section. The maximum score for the project is the sum of the "n" values for all sections, which is 10. Each question within a section is followed by a number in parentheses, which tells how many points are deducted if the answer to the question is "no." The numbers in parentheses add up to more than the maximum score for a section because there is more than one way to lose points within a section!
