Class 50: Reflection on Project

Held

Overview

Today we reflect on the presentation.

Notes

• Mostly good presentations yesterday. I've heard some nice comments from the faculty and students.
  • However, the Grinnell ethos suggests that you should support fellow students rather than tearing them down.
  • I also have some general comments and questions.
  • You are expected to have correctly working code by the end of finals week.
• Are there questions on exam 3?
  • I think I've fixed the formatting problem.
  • I'm still working on the code for the first problem. It should be ready tomorrow.
  • How many people plan to hand it in on Friday?
• I'm still working on a new grading scheme.
