The goals of this milestone are as follows:

  • Review others’ project drafts as a team and provide feedback
  • Post issues on GitHub using an issue template
  • Learn from others’ projects and improve your own project based on their strengths and weaknesses

  • Find the names of the team whose project you’re reviewing below. You should already have access to this team’s repo.

  • Each team member should go to the repo of the team you’re reviewing.

  • Then,

    • 1-2 team members clone the team’s project and renders it to check for reproducibility.

    • 1-2 team members open the team’s project in their browser and starts reading through the project draft.

Grading

Peer reviews will be graded on the extent to which it comprehensively and constructively addresses the components of the reviewee’s team’s report.

Only the team members participating in the review during the lab session are eligible for points for the peer review. If you’re unable to make it to lab in person, you should arrange to virtually connect with your team during your lab session.

  • 0 points: No peer review

  • 1 point: Feedback provided is not constructive or actionable

  • 2-4 points: Feedback provided is not sufficiently thorough

  • 5 points: Peer review is constructive, actionable, and sufficiently thorough

Note

The feedback issue will come from one team member on GitHub since you can’t collectively edit an issue. However it must represent the opinions of the entire team. It is not a single team member’s responsibility to provide feedback, they’re just the record keeper for the team.
