Marking Guidelines

Front$-$end. A single HTML

page implemented in

HTML$,$ CSS and JavaScript.

No marks are available for

websites with multiple

HTML pages.

No marks are available for

a front end implemented

using a banned third$-$party

framework, such as React

or Vue.

$7$ marks. Attractiveness

and usability. Is the frontend well designed and

attractive? Has thought

been given to usability?

If the student submits a project with multiple HTML

pages, mark only one of them, ignore the rest, and

make this clear in your comments.

Give zero marks for a front end that is implemented

using a banned third$-$party framework, such as React

or Vue.

The front end must implement all the required

functionality:

$$ Registration form.

$$ Login form.

$$ Location for feeds, preferably with a couple of

hard$-$coded examples.

$$ Search.

$$ Form to allow user to upload contents $($blog

posts, recipes, etc.$)$

This functionality should be visible or made visible in

response to user actions $$ clicking a button shows a

modal for registration, etc. It will not be connected to

the webservice.

Knock off $1$ mark for each missing piece of

functionality.

The remaining marks should be allocated for the visual

appearance and usability of the front end. For

example, a front end with missing login and search

should be given a mark out of $5$ for visual appearance

and usability.

$100\%$ of the remaining marks should be given for a

front end that is commercial quality.

$75\%$ of the remaining marks should be given for a

well$-$designed generic Bootstrap front end with little

customization.

$50\%$ of the remaining marks should be given for a

front end that the student has put effort into $($CSS

styling, images, etc.$),$ but which looks amateurish.

Zero marks should be given for a front end with no

CSS$.$

Zero marks should be awarded for a project that is a

direct copy of an existing website. For example, if the

students copy the HTML and CSS from the home page

of Instagram.

Knock off $1-2$ marks if there are obvious usability

flaws.

$3\mathrm{.}5$ marks. Data sent from

MongoDB. Give them full marks if there is enough

information to identify the student in the stored data.
