# HW1 Grading Policy

$$
score = correctness*0.5 + performance*0.2 + report
$$

## Correctness (50%)
- $X$: passed tests
- $N$: total number of tests

$$
correctness = \frac{X}{N} * 100
$$

## Performance (20%)
- $T$: time + panelty (from the scoreboard)
- $T_i$: student $i$'s $T$
- $T_{best}$: the minimum $T$ of all the students

$$
performance = \frac{T_{best}}{T_i}*100
$$
