When I worked as a technician at a local college, one of the science lecturers was demonstrating an AC to DC half-wave power supply circuit - but they kept blowing up the electrolytic because they'd connected up the diode with it's anode going to the positive end of the capacitor...
After this had happened twice I got involved and weren't too pleased when I told them (in front of the class) that they'd connected up the diode the wrong way 'round...
Your board would be better marked with 'a' & 'k'.
'+' is too ambiguous IMHO.
