Some Suggestions and Warnings

While the coding portion of the project is somewhat similar to Question 3 on the homework, there are several important differences. We want to highlight a few of them up front:

Survey Details

Each group member will fill in a survey rating their own and the contributions of the other group members to the project under the categories of team role, leadership, participation, professionalism, and quality of work (on a scale from $0$ to $3$ for each category). These scores will then be used to divide the team’s points so that individual students’ survey grades reflect how well they contributed to the overall result. The table below explains what the different numerical values for various categories mean.

Submitting the Survey

The peer-evaluation survey will be completed on a separate website. The website and access instructions will be posted and announced in class at a later time. You will evaluate yourself and your groupmates in all five categories listed above.
