Deadlines:

2. February 24th, distribute your report (not code) for peer-review, cc to Paul.
3. February 28th, return your comments for the two reports that you have reviewed, cc to Paul.
4. March 1st, functionality peer-review completed (do not cc Paul).
5. March 2nd, mail code, configuration files (compression ok) and report bundle (pdf, uncompressed) to Paul.
6. Day before your presentation, mail presentation (pdf, uncompressed) to Paul.
All deadlines are at 23.59.
Note on functionality peer-review: For the functionality review, reviewers and reviewees are expected to set up a live meeting (do not just email your code, because this is actually a functionality review). The functionality peer-review pairs act autonomously, deciding on their own when and where to meet (respecting the deadline). Read the project description and see the functionality review form for instructions. If you wish to (optional), you can book a time-slot with Paul for teacher support for your functionality peer-review.
Presentations will be held in E:2517 (has a projector with VGA/DVI/HDMI connectors).
