everyone needs to submit assignment as per instructions. Unfortunately I cannot comment on each ahead of time due to time constraints.
HW1 is graded. I received 35 submissions (2 missing)
average score for 35: 78% (7.8 out of 10)
some notes:
I’ve deducted 1 point for each missing feature (so if you implemented 4 of the 8 required, you lost 2 points)
I’ve deducted 0.5 if you didn’t have your picture on about-me page/post
I’ve deducted 0.5 if there was no about-me page/post
all scores have been emailed to 35 students
if there are concerns, email me directly - don’t post your scores/concerns here
all assignments eventually made it and graded with late submission penalty…
