• Midterm is only half graded, will return on Friday.
• Project 1 reports are graded. Shared the rubric I used and some comments. Overall very good. I think the peer reviews helped a lot. I learned a lot of fun things too. There was a light trend of erroneous analyses or not very thorough analysis. It was better to put things you know are correct than a lot that may not be correct.
• Project 2 reports should be enhanced versions of these. Combine all that you did well with on the project 1 reports to improve and make your project 2 report shine.
