The grading is done by Linus. The rules can be described like this:
Both contestants start at 0 points. I will then deduct points for things I do not like. The winner is the contestant with the highest score.
The results are in the table below:
| Part | Erik | Jonathan | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper format | 0 | -1 | Jonathan's exam is in US Letter, not A4. |
| Front page | -1 | -1 | Erik: -1 for "written report" Jonathan: -1 for "Authors" |
| Table captions | -1 | 0 | Table captions below tables are unacceptable. |
| Vertical table lines | 0 | -1 | Either use booktabs-style (no vertical lines at all), or regular tables. Now Jonathan has ugly gaps. |
| Quotation marks | -1 | 0 | English have different quotation marks in the beginning “ not ” | Figure reference | 0 | -1 | All numbered figures should of course be referenced to by their number. |
| Float layout | -1 | 0 | The tables in Erik's exam wastes ridiculous space. Subfigures ftw! |
| 3a,b parentheses | 0 | -1 | Not using \left and \right on parentheses in H( ) should be illegal. |
| 3c plot colour | -1 | 0 | Colours in plot should match colours in legend... |
| Vector graphics | -1 | 0 | Vector graphics > bitmapped graphics for all plots. |
| -6 | -5 |
Winner: Jonathan
No appeals. The decision is final.
