Here are some notes I took while grading Lab 1:
- At the start of your README file, please include your collaborator’s name along with their netID. Also, list both your registered name on Canvas and your preferred name.
- Think of your submission as the documentation of what you’ve done. The golden standard is: if you show the README to someone who has no idea what your project is, they should be able to replicate it by following your instructions.
- Format matters. Check the instructions here.
- Peer evaluation and feedback matter. You should document their comments, and write down their words and netID. You’re also welcome to interview and present to people outside the class.
- Don’t put raw videos directly in your Hub—it takes up too much storage. If you clone the Hub, the video will be downloaded to your Pi5, which doesn’t have much space for large files you don’t actually need. The same goes for large images. Instead, upload them to cloud storage such as Google Drive or Cornell Box.
- Feel free to remove the comments and instructions we provided for the earlier part of the lab. You don’t need to leave them in your file unless you find them necessary. Again, think of the task as documenting your own progress.
- Here are some good examples of Lab 1. Check how they organize their documentation and how the concept evolves into the actual working prototype:
